This article reports on a case of sensorimotor neuropathy in a 55-year-old man that developed after vincristine therapy. Subsequent biopsy of the sural nerve and electromyographic studies revealed the presence of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Only 17 patients who developed severe neuropathy with very low accumulated doses of vincristine have been described in the literature. Pain and lateral ankle instability were treated with a functional orthosis. Orthopedic treatment and the biomechanical basis of foot and ankle problems in patients with vincristine therapy–induced Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease are discussed. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 93(3): 229-233, 2003)
