[Recurrent familial neuropathy: report of one family].
The authors report a case of a family with hereditary compression of peripheral nerves. The disease is traced through five generations. Six members were proved to be affected. 14 patients were examined. The review of the literature and the family studied suggest that the disorder is transmitted by an autosomal dominant gene with variable expressivity.
