Abstract
|
|
|
Monomelic amyotrophy is a rare form of motor neuron disease which is insidious onset in the second and fourth decades, male preponderance, sporadic occurrence, wasting and weakness confined to one limb, and absence of involvement of the cranial nerves, cerebrum, brain, stem, and sensory system. Symptoms and signs often progress for several years before spontaneously arresting. Neurologic findings and electrophysiologic studies are only useful for the diagnosis of monomelic amyotrophy and other laboratory testing are frequently normal or nonspecific.
We reported three cases of typical monomelic amyotrophy with review of the articles.
