[Neurogenic muscular lesion presenting a picture of "central core disease"].
A neurogenic lesion has been described in mother and son. In the son there was a prevalence of denervation changes whereas reinervation ones prevailed in the mother. In both, "central cores" were present in aggregations of type-1 fibres. In the authors' opinion the findings represent a neurogenic lesion (also verified clinically and electromyographically), less advanced in the son and more advanced in the mother, ultimately stabilizing to yield a pattern resembling that of the "central core disease".
