V. I. Sokolov. To the question of progressive muscle dystrophy. — Medical Review of 1910. № 8

Abstract

The author was able to observe three cases of the so-called progressive muscular dystrophy of Erb'a, both from the side of the course of the disease, and from the pathological and anatomical picture of dystrophic muscles. The anatomical picture, according to the author, is common with all types of muscular atrophy, and this raises doubts about the correctness of isolating this disease into an independent unit. Its clinical picture is stronger, although here, too, a certain amount of skepticism has already been introduced with the presence of transitional forms, ascertaining the reaction of degeneration and fibrillar twitching in myopathies.
