Classically Described, Paradoxically Underrecognized
We present a case of chronic, progressive proximal weakness with dysautonomia and hyporeflexia/areflexia ultimately diagnosed with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome. An approach to neuroanatomical localization is discussed leading to the appropriate selection of electrodiagnostic studies.

Nationwide Survey of Atopic Myelitis and Plexin D1‐Immunoglobulin G‐Related Pain
ABSTRACT Objective To elucidate the features of plexin D1‐immunoglobulin (Ig)G‐associated neuropathic pain and its relationship to atopic myelitis (AM) in a nationwide Japanese survey. Methods A preliminary survey questionnaire was sent to 1574 selected departments (neurology and pediatrics/pediatric neurology) to explore the numbers of AM and plexin ...

ABSTRACT Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune‐mediated neuropathy featuring progressive weakness, sensory deficits, and areflexia. While corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasmapheresis are effective first‐line immunotherapies, a subset of patients remains treatment‐refractory.

The Case of a 28‐Year‐Old Man With Gradually Progressive Proximal Leg Weakness
ABSTRACT This is a case of a 28‐year‐old man who presented with a 6‐month history of gradually progressive proximal leg weakness and pain that worsened on exercise and was relieved by rest. He had no symptoms in his upper limbs. Apart from intermittent mild ptosis and diplopia, he had no other cranial nerve symptoms.

Incidence and Prevalence of Congenital Myopathies ‐ A Population‐Based Study From Western Sweden
Objective Congenital myopathies are a group of rare genetic muscle disorders. Previous studies have estimated point prevalences which only include surviving individuals. Our aim was to perform an epidemiological study with strict inclusion criteria, using modern diagnostic technology to present both incidences and prevalences, and to describe the ...

ABSTRACT Spinal muscular atrophy with congenital bone fractures 2 is a rare and severe autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by pathogenic variants in ASCC1. This condition characterized by prenatal onset of severe hypotonia with fetal hypokinesia and congenital contractures results in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, and increased ...

The Diverse Neuromuscular Spectrum of VPS13A Disease
ABSTRACT Objective VPS13A disease (chorea‐acanthocytosis) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder caused by biallelic variants in VPS13A, typically presenting with hyperkinetic movement disorders, while neuromuscular signs are often mild. The aim of the project was to investigate the frequency and severity of neuromuscular impairment in VPS13A disease ...

Novel Genetic Findings in Stuve‐Wiedemann Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of Literature
ABSTRACT Stuve‐Wiedemann Syndrome (SWS) is a rare autosomal recessive condition, first reported in 1971 by Stuve and Wiedemann. It is associated with pathogenic or likely pathogenic homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in the Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Receptor (LIFR) gene.

Identification of Additional Cases of Severe Neonatal GABA‐Transaminase Deficiency
ABSTRACT GABA‐transaminase (GABA‐T) deficiency is a rare disorder of GABA metabolism characterized by neonatal encephalopathy, epilepsy, hypotonia and intellectual disability. It is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the ABAT gene. We report a case of a newborn female born to a G10P5 mother, with abnormal fetal movements and polyhydramnios in ...
