French term or phrase: tableau d’acroparesthesies nocturnes
Le 21 décembre, la patiente a chuté et s’est infligé une fracture du poignet droit. Depuis, elle se plaint de douleurs au niveau du poignet droit, irradiant à l’avant-bras. Il n’y a pas de tableau d’ acroparesthesies nocturnes comme telles.

Tableau is also used solo in other parts of the document, what is a good translation for this in the medical sense?

agree  Richard Benham: (Or (UK) acroparaesthesia (altered sensation in extremities).) Our medical friends often use the word "picture" (with or without "clinical") in the same sense as tableau is used here. Interpreting it as "chart" makes no sense here.

(no typical) nocturnal paresthesia


Explanation:
In this context "tableau" should be omitted. "tableau clinique" may be translated by "clinical presentation", when considering the global "presentation" of the patient.
