Evaluation of skeletal muscle with thallium-201 scintigraphy in myotonic muscular dystrophy: a case report.
نویسنده
چکیده
A case of myotonic muscular dystrophy in which thallium-20l showed dystrophic change of skeletal muscle is described. After i.v. injection of2 mCi of thallium-20l, the patient's whole body scintigram was reconstructed by taking the geometric mean of the corresponding anterior and posterior pixel counts over the 512 x 512 matrix formal. The scintigram showed manifest hypoperfusion at the site of muscle weakness. Thallium-201 whole body scintigraphy was thought to be useful for noninvasive evaluation of skeletal muscular involvement in muscle disease.

Genotype–Phenotype Correlations in Iranian Myotonic Dystrophy Type I Patients
Objectives: Myotonic Dystrophy type I (DM1) is a dominantly inherited disorder with a multisystemic pattern affecting skeletal muscle, heart, eye, endocrine and central nervous system. DM1 is associated with the expansion and instability of CTG repeat in the 3chr('39') untranslated region of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene located on chromosome 19q13.3. The aim of this study w...

Myocardial involvement in progressive muscular dystrophy of the Duchenne type was evaluated in 19 patients using thallium-201 myocardial perfusion imaging. A qualitative analysis was performed from five projection images by three experienced physicians. Distinct perfusion defects were shown in 13 patients, especially in the LV posterolateral or posterior wall (11 patients). There was no signifi...

Background: The association of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) with other neurological disorders is uncommon. Case presentation: We report a 25-year-old female with LGMD who suffered from slowly progressive proximal muscular weakness and atrophy since she was 12 years of age. The patient recently presented with acute loss of left side visual acuity. After evaluation, findings were sugges...
متن کاملModulation of skeletal muscle sodium channels by human myotonin protein kinase.
In myotonic muscular dystrophy, abnormal muscle Na currents underlie myotonic discharges. Since the myotonic muscular dystrophy gene encodes a product, human myotonin protein kinase, with structural similarity to protein kinases, we tested the idea that human myotonin protein kinase modulates skeletal muscle Na channels. Coexpression of human myotonin protein kinase with rat skeletal muscle Na ...
