[Kennedy's disease--case report].
Kennedy's disease or spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a rare neurological illness inherited recessively, linked with chromosome X. The first symptoms appear in the adult age and result from degeneration of both motor and sensory neurons. The disease begins differently, thus causing diagnostic mistakes. In our case the symptoms suggested discopathy, therefore the patient was operated on L5-S1 discopathy, which did not improve lower limb muscle strength. This entailed further diagnostic work-up. The EMG (needle) examination showed widespread chronic denervation with reinnervation in the muscles of the limbs. The genetic examination revealed increased number of CAG(45) trinucleotide repeats, thus confirming a suspicion of Kennedy's disease.

[Laryngeal dystonia--personal experience with botulin toxin treatment].
Laryngeal dystonia is a focal dystonia occurring more often than it is diagnosed. Adductor type dystonia was described in 5 patients. In 3 cases it manifested itself as blepharospasm, which later developed into Meige's syndrome. The patients were treated with botulinum toxin A injections under EMG control administering 10 i.m. into laryngeal muscles on both sides with good and very good results. There were no serious side effects.
