Abstract
A case of Wohlfart-Kugelberg-Welander disease is presented with clinical, electromyo-graphic-peripheral nerve conduction velocity and muscle biopsy findings. Forty-eight reported patients with this disease are reviewed in detail. Its differentiation from progressive myopathies and the proximal form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is discussed. Wohlfart-Kugelberg-We-lander disease is tentatively classified with Werdnig-Hoffmann and Duchenne-Aran diseases as a "degenerative" disease of the anterior horn cells but with a much more favorable and benign course.
