Saraiva, Sylvio; Diament, Aron J.; Levy, José Antonio

doi:10.1590/S0004-282X1960000300006

Resumo

The authors call attention to some clinical entities which are less known and more difficult to recognize and with which differential diagnosis of progressive muscular dystrophy should be made (infantile spinal muscular atrophy, amyotonia congenita, congenital acute anterior poliomyelitis, anthro-griposis multiplex, von Gierke's disease, central core disease, chronical polymyositis and dermatomyositis, thyrotoxic myopathy and menopausal dys- trophy). The importance of muscle biopsy in the differential diagnosis is emphasized.
