[Diagnostic problems posed by hypotrophic facio-scapulo-humeral syndromes (author's transl)].

The Authors, on the ground of the literature and of their own observations, stress the diagnostic non specificity of hypotrophic facio-scapulo-humeral syndromes: these sindromes, contrary to the current opinion, aren't always of primitive myodistrophic nature but may also be "neurogenic", inflammatory, collagenopathis, etc. In this connection they present an illustrative case of facio-scapulo-humeral syndrome which had clinical features typically "myogenic" but turned out to be "neurogenic" after electromyographic and histochemical investigation.

[Duchenne muscular dystrophy in girls (author's transl)].

The AA., after a review cases of girls suffering from a muscular dystrophy like Duchenne, present two cases that they think to set in the same nosographical context. Even though they admit its extreme rarity and the possiblility that many cases previously published are controversial, they accept that Duchenne myodistrophic syndromes certainly occur in girls, even if their substantial nature remain uncertain.

[Some clinical and paraclinical observations about the syndrome of "acropathie ulcero-mutilante" (author's transl)].

A case of "acropathie ulcero-mutilante" is reported, some features of which contribute to a better knowledge of the following controversial points: a) the occurrence of sporadic non familiar cases; b) the existence of degenerative changes in the motor pathways; c) the hystochemical picture, which has been not previously described. This case confirm sporadicity and degenerative changes in motor pathways. The histochemical picture show typical signs of denervation.

[Further remarks on histochemistry applied to myodiagnosis: findings of "type predominance" (author's transl)].

Data concerning muscular biopsies (histochemically examined) of three patients affected by Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, neurogenic atrophy of spondilosic origin and benign congenital hypotonia, are described. The common finding was a histochemical appearence of "type predominance". This point and the possible "neurogenic" origin of benign congenital hypotonia, are discussed.
