Clinical clues, including preserved foot muscle bulk in the setting of bilateral foot drop, preservation of intrinsic hand muscle function in the setting of prominent finger extensor weakness, and concurrent neck or proximal limb muscle weakness, suggest primary muscle disease rather than neuropathy. Figure 1.
Epidemiology. Especially common: Mid-Sweden & Finland gene frequency 1/4000. Penetrance: Relatively low due to late age of onset. Genetics 10. Mutation: Glu384Lys. Finnish & Swedish patients have shared haplotype. Homozygotes: Weakness is more severe & proximal. Allelic disorders. ALS-FTD (ALS 26) Digenic Distal myopathy 53.
Distal myopathy is a group of rare genetic disorders that cause muscle damage and weakness, predominantly in the hands and/or feet. Mutation of many different genes can be causative. Many types involve dysferlin. [1] Signs and symptoms.
18 cze 2024 · The approach to the diagnosis and initial management of patients presenting to the ED with acute, nontraumatic neurologic and neuromuscular weakness will be reviewed here. Medical conditions characterized by general malaise or chronic weakness are discussed separately. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE WEAKNESS
The pattern of weakness observed in this phenomenon commonly involves muscles of upper and/or lower limb and less commonly muscles of neck, face, distal limb, eye, pharynx, respiratory system, and heart.
