FIVE CASES OF PRIMARY MUSCULAR ATROPHY

Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Short Review Article

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disorder which affect nervous system and is characterized with progressive distal motor neuron weakness. The survival motor neuron (SMN) protein level reduces in patients with SMA. Two different genes code survival motor neuron protein in human genome. Skeletal and intercostal muscles denervation lead to weakness, hypotony, hyporeflexia, respiratory fa...

Mimic syndromes in sporadic cases of progressive spinal muscular atrophy.

Described are patients initially diagnosed with progressive spinal muscular atrophy (PSMA), in whom further evaluation established another diagnosis. The authors prospectively investigated incident and prevalent cases of PSMA. Seventeen of 89 patients, after initial registration, were later excluded because reassessment revealed a diagnosis other than PSMA. In 11 of the 17 patients with a revis...

Primary muscular hydatidosis mimicking soft tissue tumour: a report of five cases.

Primary muscular hydatidosis is rare and usually presents as an asymptomatic, slowly growing mass mimicking a soft tissue tumour. Adequate preoperative planning and wide excision is recommended, as incomplete excision may lead to anaphylactic reactions and local recurrence. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumours especially in regions endemic for the parasite.
