| Abstract |
|
We experienced a case of Werdnig Hoffmann disease in a 1 year 5 month old female child with the complaint of progressive muscular weakness on both lower extremities. Her development had been almost normal since birth and she could stand alone briefly at 12 months of age, but progressive muscular weakness had been apparent since then. Diagnosis was based on clinical pictures, EMG and muscle biopsy. A review of literatures was also attempted briefly.
