The clinical presentation is that of progressive/relapsing and remitting muscle weakness present for more than 2 months, symmetrical proximal and distal extremity weakness and hyporeflexia. [neuroweb.us]

Creatine kinase will be elevated. [2] Congenital Myopathies They may present at birth with marked weakness, hypotonia, external ophthalmoplegia and respiratory failure. [explainmedicine.com]

Early weakness of neck flexion is present in all patients. Mild involvement of the facial musculature (particularly of the orbicularis oculi and oris muscles) is often present. [orpha.net]

To identify and minimize risk, a thorough preoperative workup is indispensable. [2], [3] If regional anesthesia is planned, a preoperative assessment of peripheral sensory nerve dysfunction should be considered. [ijaweb.org]

A neurologic examination that shows deficits in a single nerve or radicular distribution indicates a possible mononeuritis, entrapment neuropathy, or radiculopathy, and calls for a different workup than that required for a limb paresis in a patient with [aafp.org]

Treatment - Distal myopathy Markesbery-Griggs type Specific treatment options may include physical and occupational therapy to improve muscle strength and, when necessary, the use of various devices including braces (e.g., ankle-foot orthosis) or wheelchairs [checkorphan.org]

Management and treatment No definitive treatments for MM exist and management is mainly supportive. [orpha.net]

Treatment of any specific problems, such as joint stiffness (contractures), heart or breathing problems. There is a lot of research into MD at present and new treatments may be available in the future. [patient.info]

In acquired myopathies, treatment is targeted toward the underlying cause. Treatment of statin myopathies is dependent on creatine phosphokinase levels and degree of muscle symptoms. Consider lower doses when initiating statin therapy. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Gene therapy, as a treatment, is in the early stages of study in humans. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis - Distal myopathy Markesbery-Griggs type Not supplied. [checkorphan.org]

Duchenne muscular dystrophy prognosis indicates death at around the age of 20 to 25. Fatal complications Duchenne muscular dystrophy prognosis indicates several fatal complications. [muscleatrophy.net]

Prognosis Progression is variable with some patients remaining fairly stable with distal weakness, while others can have a more aggressive pattern involving both proximal and distal muscles. [orpha.net]

Rhabdomyolysis may also be seen with infectious etiologies, alcohol, and toxic exposures. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Etiology MM is caused by mutations in the DYSF gene (2p13), which encodes dysferlin. The latter orchestrates skeletal muscle membrane repair and has also been associated with myogenesis, angiogenesis and microtubule dynamics. [orpha.net]

Summary Epidemiology MM is the most common form of recessive distal myopathy in populations with founder mutations such as Libyan and Israeli Jewish population, Italian and Spanish populations. [orpha.net]
