[Motor nerve conduction velocity in early forms of infantile spinal amyotrophy. Diagnostic problems].
The conduction velocity of the ulnar, median and peroneal nerves was studied in 21 patients with a severe form of spinal muscular atrophy. They were slower than normal in 16 cases, particularly when the median nerve was studied. The diagnosis criteria of spinal muscular atrophy are discussed according to these data.
