Motor neuron abnormalities have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Evidence concerning the effect of injury on motor neurons of human Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is lacking. We report a DMD patient having, in addition, an obstetric paresis on his left arm. EMG

In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), sphincter muscles tend to be clinically spared. However, urinary incontinence is occasionally reported, usually late in the course of the disease. We wished to determine the etiology of urinary dysfunction in patients with DMD. Seven boys with DMD and urinary dy
We agree with Professor Emery that evidence is adding up suggesting heterogeneity of DMD at the molecular and cytogenetic levels Poyd and Buckle, 19861. However, this does not seem evident on clinical grounds. Our group of patients classified as mentally retarded [Bortolini and Zatz, 19861 all had
