Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy and respiratory failure; what about the diaphragm?
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2015 Introduction: We present a case of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) with a diaphragm paralysis as the primary cause of ventilatory failure. FSHD is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder with a restricted pattern of weakness.
