Abstract
We report on sibs with scleroatonic familial myopathy (Ullrich disease). Muscular weakness was of relatively late onset in relation to other cases reported in the literature. Short stature and moderate growth hormone deficiency were noted during follow‐up. Differential diagnosis with other neuromuscular disorders, particularly rigid spine syndrome, is discussed.Keywords
