Verdnig – Hoffmann Spinal Amyotrophy

This disease is found in early childhood and is characterized by a malignant course with rapid progression. Depending on the time of the onset of the first symptoms and the rate of increase of the process, three forms

Pseudomyopathic form of progressive spinal amyotrophy of the Kugelberg-Velander

In 1942, Wohlfart first described a disease manifested by muscle atrophy and paresis and resembling primary muscular dystrophy, but with widespread fasciculations . In 1956, Kugelberg and Welander emphasized that such a disease is relatively benign; careful electromyographic control allowed the authors to clarify the neurogenic nature of

Rare forms of spinal muscular atrophy

Rare forms of spinal amyotrophy include hereditary distal muscle atrophy. The disease begins with the distal parts of the lower extremities, the distal parts of the hands are gradually involved in the process, generalization of the process can

Polymyositis

Polymyositis is an infectious-allergic muscle lesion where, along with inflammatory reactions, degenerative changes develop. According to most authors, polymyositis is a polyetiological disease, but with a single pathogenesis, which is based on allergic reactions with the formation of antibodies to muscle

Deforming muscle dystonia (torsion dystonia)

Deforming muscle dystonia is a chronic progressive disease characterized by changes in muscle tone and slow rotational movements of the trunk and limbs. The disease was first described by Schwalbe in 1908. At first, it was regarded as a

Spasmodic torticollis

Close to deforming muscular dystonia is torticollis syndrome, the most characteristic manifestations of which are abnormal position of the head and a change in muscle tone of the neck. Torticollis can occur in many diseases – Goettington’s chorea ,

Congenital paramiotonia of Eilenburg

This form of the disease was described in 1886 by Eulenburg . In classical cases, the disease appears only in the cold, when there is a myotonic difficulty in muscle relaxation. Local cooling, for example when eating ice cream, is accompanied

Myopathy and cardiomyopathy

Myopathy and cardiomyopathy with onset in adulthood and maternal inheritance (MMS). The disease is associated with insufficiency of 1 and IV DBB complexes. A morphological study reveals RRF in skeletal muscle biopsies . It should be noted that mitochondrial myopathy is a common form
