What is Myopathy and Motor Neuron Disorders about?
The first part of this chapter deals with the main varieties of muscular dystrophy and their differential diagnosis, many of which are instantly recognizable. Handles are given for the main neuromuscular junction disorders including, myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome. Inflammatory and dysthyroid myopathies are evaluated. Also appraised are periodic paralysis, McArdle’s syndrome, and mitochondrial, distal, and medication-induced myopathy. In the second section, motor neuron disorders are discussed, in particular the characteristic features of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and its mimics as well as various forms of bulbar palsy. Hereditary spastic paraplegia and its variants are discussed and how they can simulate other diseases.
