Ocular findings in muscular dystrophies
Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous class of inherited disorders presenting with different clinical, genetic, and biochemical features. Muscular dystrophies include Duchennemuscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) myotonic dystrophy (DM), oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD), facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), dist...

The muscular dystrophies are inherited myogenic disorders characterised by progressive muscle wasting and weakness of variable distribution and severity. They can be subdivided into several groups, including congenital forms, in accordance with the distribution of predominant muscle weakness: Duchenne and Becker; Emery-Dreifuss; distal; facioscapulohumeral; oculopharyngeal; and limb-girdle whic...

متن کاملMuscle MRI in muscular dystrophies.
Muscle MRI has become a very useful tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with muscle dystrophies. Muscle MRI provides us about many aspects of the structure and function of skeletal muscles, such as the presence of oedema or fatty infiltration. In the last years many reports have described the particular muscles that are involved in these muscle disease. This knowledge can facilitate...
متن کاملoverview of muscular dystrophies
