Abstract
Patients (4) with chronic focal polymyositis are described. Treatment with steroids appeared to halt clinical progression. The clinical features in all 4 cases were so strikingly similar as to constitute a syndrome which can be mistaken for muscular dystrophy or spinal muscular atrophy unless investigated fully.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
