Hereditary quadriceps myopathy.
A familial myopathy affecting a man, his three daughters, and one of his brothers is reported. The quadriceps muscle was predominantly involved, with aching pain as an early feature, and later prominent areas of hypertrophy projecting from patches of atrophy gave the quadriceps a most striking and unusual appearance. Presentation was in adult life, and the course was relatively benign, pelvic g...
متن کاملQuadriceps myositis: an appraisal of the diagnostic criteria of quadriceps myopathy.
A patient with the clinical picture of quadriceps myopathy was shown to have an underlying myositis. Review of the literature showed myositis to be a rare cause of the 'quadriceps syndrome' but it is important to identify this group because they are potentially treatable with corticosteroids.

The clinical and pathological features in a patient with quadriceps myopathy are presented. The pattern of progression of the disorder, during a period of 18 years observation, suggests that it represents an unusual and perhaps specific syndrome within the clinical spectrum of the limb-girdle muscular dystophies.
متن کاملTwo cases of myopathy limited to the quadriceps.
Bramwell, in 1922, demonstrated before the Royal Society of Medicine two cases suffering from a form of myopathy which appeared to be limited to the quadriceps. A third similar case was reported by Denny-Brown in 1939, but no subsequent descriptions of this condition have appeared in the literature. All of the three patients previously reported were over 40 years of age; this paper describes tw...
متن کاملQuadriceps weakness in a family with nemaline myopathy: influence of knee angle.
Nemaline myopathy is a congenital neuromuscular disorder, which primarily affects the thin filaments. Clinically the most important feature is muscle weakness; however, this weakness is poorly understood. The present investigation aimed to determine the torque angle relationship of the knee extensor muscles during in vivo muscle contractions in a family with a novel phenotype of nemaline myopat...
