[Mental development in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Correlation of data of the brain scanner].
In an investigation of 15 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, the authors found mental retardation in all cases. In addition, CT scan showed a cortical atrophy after the age of 10 years. This finding suggests that a cerebral degenerative process is present in cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
