Cheiro-pedal syndrome: A Revisit of Etiology, Localization and Outcome

The characteristic distribution and pattern of somatosensory impairment can greatly promote the accuracy for predicting the localization and differentiation in clinical practice, like Brown-S équard syndrome in spinal cord and sensory deficit of Stopford type in medulla oblongata. The family of restricted acral sensory syndrome (RASS) consists of a constellation of incomplete sensory disorders confined to the distal part of limbs and/or face. [1,2] It can occur at a single site or multi ple sites separated distantly, [2] such as the cheiro-oral syndrome (COS)[3] and other analogues.
