  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

The authors report the case of a 16-year-old boy with Hirayama's disease (juvenile muscular atrophy of unilateral upper extremity). The present history began about 6 months previously, when he noticed slowly progressive weakness with atrophy of the left hand and forearm. Neurological examination on admission revealed diffuse distribution of muscular atrophy in-cluding the left hypothenar, thenar, forearm, and tri-ceps muscles. However, EMG studies identified neuro-genic changes in both upper extremities. There was no long tract sign of objective sensory impairment.
