متن کاملBenign neurogenic amyotrophy in Klinefelter's syndrome.
Two cases of benign neurogenic amyotrophy associated with Klinefelter's syndrome are reported. Both presented with slowly progressive, diffuse neurogenic muscle atrophy of juvenile onset. Both had a karyotype of XXY. Amplification, by the polymerase chain reaction, of a fragment of androgen receptor that was related to bulbospinal muscular atrophy, showed no abnormality.

متن کاملBenign monomelic amyotrophy with proximal upper limb involvement: case report.
Monomelic amyotrophy (MA) is a rare condition in which neurogenic amyotrophy is restricted to an upper or lower limb. Usually sporadic, it usually has an insidious onset with a mean evolution of 2 to 4 years following first clinical manifestations, which is, in turned, followed by stabilization. We report a case of 20-years-old man who presented slowly progressive amyotrophy associated with pro...
