[Clinico-epidemiological aspects of hereditary neuromuscular diseases in the Krasnodar territory]. 1991

M E Krivopusk

A study was made of the prevalence and clinical pleomorphism of neuromuscular diseases in the Krasnodar territory. The incidence of the diseases is 15.7 per 100,000 population (738 patients). Primary progressive myodystrophies are most prevalent (6.9 per 100,000 population). The humeroscapular and facial form (1.36 per 100,000 population) and Duchenne's form (1.15 per 100,000 population) occur less frequently. The remaining forms are an extreme rarity. Secondary amyotrophies occur more seldom (23.2%). Of these, there prevail Charcot-Marie amyotrophy (2.69 per 100,000 population). The myasthenia incidence constitutes 3.05 per 100,000 population. The myotonic syndromes were encountered in 12.3%. Of these, Thomsen's myotonia occurred most frequently (1.55 per 100,000 population).

D009136 Muscular Dystrophies A heterogeneous group of inherited MYOPATHIES, characterized by wasting and weakness of the SKELETAL MUSCLE. They are categorized by the sites of MUSCLE WEAKNESS; AGE OF ONSET; and INHERITANCE PATTERNS. Muscular Dystrophy,Myodystrophica,Myodystrophy,Dystrophies, Muscular,Dystrophy, Muscular,Myodystrophicas,Myodystrophies
D009157 Myasthenia Gravis A disorder of neuromuscular transmission characterized by fatigable weakness of cranial and skeletal muscles with elevated titers of ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTORS or muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) autoantibodies. Clinical manifestations may include ocular muscle weakness (fluctuating, asymmetric, external ophthalmoplegia; diplopia; ptosis; and weakness of eye closure) and extraocular fatigable weakness of facial, bulbar, respiratory, and proximal limb muscles. The disease may remain limited to the ocular muscles (ocular myasthenia). THYMOMA is commonly associated with this condition.
