Hirayama Disease: Escaping From the Quotidian Imaging.
Hirayama disease is a rare type of neurological disease commonly manifesting as brachial monomelic amyotrophy in young males of Asian origin, easily understood as juvenile non-progressive cervical amyotrophy. The first case was reported by Hirayama in 1959. The pathogenesis is attributed towards chronic compression of cervical spinal cord during flexion movements of neck in cases where there is...

Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare type of cervical myelopathy related to flexion of the neck characterized by progressive muscular weakness and atrophy of the distal upper limbs most frequently seen in young males. HD is thought to be secondary to an abnormal anterior displacement of the posterior dura with secondary compression of the lower cervical spinal cord and chronic injury to the anterior...

It is characterized by progressive muscular weakness and atrophy of unilateral or asymmetrically bilateral distal upper limbs. We report a case of an 18-year-male painter, who presented with gradually progressive, symmetrical bilateral weakness of hands and f...
متن کاملHirayama disease: MR diagnosis.
We report the MR findings in two cases of Hirayama disease, a kind of cervical myelopathy related to flexion movements of the neck. In flexion MR studies, we can see the striking and pathognomonic picture of anterior shifting of posterior dura at the lower cervical spinal canal. In nonflexion studies, we find that asymmetric cord atrophy, especially at the lower cervical cord, though subtle, is...
