چکیده
AN AI~A~S'rHESIOLOCIST is aware of the need for caution when confronted with a patient suffering from a myotonic syndrome. On reviewing the literature, 1,2 it becomes evident that the stress has been on the myotonic aspects of the disease.

The skull in dystrophia myotonica-In a previous study of dystrophia myotonica Caughey and Brown (1950) suggested that the endocrine lesion was primarily a failure of the androgenic function of the adrenals and the gonads. In the same paper the authors reported the radiographic abnormalities in the skull in some patients with dystrophia myotonica. In subsequent papers Caughey (l952a and 1952b) r...
متن کاملMyotonic dystrophy and the heart.
Myotonic dystrophy (dystrophia myotonica, DM) is the most frequently inherited neuromuscular disease of adult life. DM is a multisystem disease with major cardiac involvement. Core features of myotonic dystrophy are myotonia, muscle weakness, cataract, and cardiac conduction abnormalities. Classical DM (first described by Steinert and called Steinert’s disease or DM1) has been identified as an ...
متن کاملShort-latency somatosensory evoked potentials in dystrophia myotonica.
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were recorded in a group of 21 patients with dystrophia myotonica and in a group of controls. Those with dystrophia myotonica had longer absolute peak latencies due to slower peripheral conduction. SEP abnormalities revealed peripheral and/or central conduction delays in 33% of the dystrophia myotonica subjects. There was no apparent relationship between t...
متن کاملBone changes in the skull in dystrophia myotonica.
subsequent generations, the cataract usually occurs at an earlier age and is associated with other features of the fully developed disease picture such as muscle wasting, myotonia, areflexia and certain endocrinological changes of which the most constant is gonadal atrophy. Recent endocrine studies by Caughey and Brown (1950) suggest that the endocrine lesion is primarily a failure of the andro...
متن کاملElectrophysiological studies in two patients with dystrophia myotonica and atrioventricular conduction block.
Two patients with dystrophia myotonica showed high-grade atrio-ventricular block. Both underwent electrophysiological studies which revealed sinus and A-V nodal disease with normal intraventricular conduction in 1 case and His-Purkinje conduction disease in the other. Dystrophia myotonica may, therfore, involve all parts of the cardiac conduction system and may affect the generation of cardiac ...
