A case of parietal atrophy: etiopathogenetic evaluation.
We report on the case of a patient presenting a muscle atrophy of the right hand and a left parietal neoplastic lesion rapidly progressing. EMG findings showed no signs of denervation nor sensory-motor conduction impairments. Parietal lesions might interrupt sensory control mechanisms of motor activity.
