title: [Amyotrophy due to parietal lobe lesions].
abstract: A bibliographical revision about Silverstein's amyotrophy, with a historical sight analizing the physiopathogeny and its clinical manifestations is reported. The authors discussed the possible cause of the few references in the literature about the matter and relate three cases; they leave a blank in one of them with amyotrophy in the other side and the same side of the lesion, that got better with surgical treatment. This was not found in the bibliographical revision that has been looked for.
