Why is charcot-marie disease called a tooth disease when it doesn't involve teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All in a name...: The disease is named after those who classically described it: Jean-Martin Charcot (1825–1893), his pupil Pierre Marie (1853–1940) and Howard Henry Tooth (1856–1925). Isn't the internet great ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcot%E2%80%93Marie%E2%80%93Tooth_disease
