Peripheral nerve injury is a result of the rare and crippling Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. Although it can happen at any age, progressive muscle weakening is most obvious in adolescence or the early stages of adulthood. We present a case of an 81-year-old female with recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), complaints of abdominal pain and constipation, as well as dysuria with abnormal electrolyte levels. This case serves as an effective symptomatic treatment plan for a patient with this rare neuromuscular disorder.
Keywords: charcot-marie-tooth disease; diabetes mellitus; functional constipation; gait disturbance; infectious colitis; painful neuropathy; peripheral motor neuropathy; urinary tract infection.
