  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Two sisters were afflicted with dystal type of dystrophia musculorum progressiva were examined. The parents were first cousins. No other relative has been known to suffer from similar disease.

The age of onset was 30 in case 1 (younger sister ) and 26 in case 2 (elder one), with slow progression of 6 and 15 years respectively. The weakness and atrophy of muscles were most pronounced in distal regions, and were symmet-rical. In extremities long flexors were more affected than extensor groups. Neck muscles were severly affected in both cases. The elder is almost disabled, and the younger shows "climbing up herself", waddling gait and pseu-dohypertrophy of lower extremities.

EMG and biopsy specimens revealed the typical dystrophic changes, with exception of partial round cell infiltrations in case 1. Differ-ential diagnosis discussed mainly against dy-strophia myotonica, polymyositis and distal myopathies. In conclusion, the similarity with "grossly atypical from" of myopathia distalis tarda hereditaria (Welander) was admitted.
