Neuromuscular disorders in clinical practice: case studies.
Neuromuscular disorders represent a large group of highly varied and interesting clinical disorders, many of which have major general medical manifestations. These disorders can be diagnosed largely based on the patient's history and physical examination with a little help from modern technology. Despite the outdated belief that neurologic conditions are diagnosed but rarely treatable, all cases discussed herein represent disorders for which there are extensive options and opportunities for meaningful management. These 16 brief case overviews challenge and refresh diagnostic skills and provide the framework for selected comments regarding management options.
