Abstract
|
|
|
Since 1968 to March, 1972, ten cases of the motor neuron disease were observed at Chonnam University Hospital. The motor neuron disease is chiefly characterized pathologically by degenerative changes, which are most marked in the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, the motor nuclei of the medulla, and the pyramidal tracts, and clinically by progressive wasting, of the muscles, especially those of the upper limbs and those innervated from the medulla, combined with symptoms of pyramidal degeneration.
Ten cases of the motor neuron disease consisted of six cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a case of progressive bulbar palsy and three cases of progressive spinal muscular atrophy.
