MANZANO JUAREZ, Amparo; GONZALEZ CESPEDES, María Dolores; ROCHA HONOR, Eddy e SANCHEZ BETETA, María Pilar. Atypical presentation of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.3, pp.251-253. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-695X2015000300010.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, neurodegenerative fatal disease that affects motor neurons in the spinal cord, brain stem and motor cortex. It produces a failure of the motor system that directs, adjusts and maintains skeletal muscles, responsible for the ability to move and interact with the environment. We report the case of a 58-year-old male diagnosed with ALS, with atypical initial symptoms that hindered the final clinical judgement, and where inclusion body myopathy stood out during the differential diagnosis.
