(83 cards)
anti-mi2 abs
dermatomyositis
perifascicular atrophy
myofiber atrophy at edges of fascicles = dermatomyositis
campylobacter infection
GB
ascending paralysis/areflexia and infection
GB
onion bulb neuorpathy
chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
sexual dysfunction, tingling hands
DM
distal symmetric neuropathy, renal failure
uremic neuropathy
foot looks like its in a high heel
CMT - inherited peripheral neuropathy - mm. atrophy, sensory loss, foot deformities
painless weakness, thymom
MG
extremity weakness, neuroendocrine carcinoma
LEMS
mm. effect from corticosteroids
type II atrophy
heliotrope rash
dermatomyositis - proximal mm. weakness first - perifascicular atrophy
proximal mm. weakness first?
think dermatomyositis or polymyositis
endomysial inflamm. cells in mm?
polymyositis
quad weakness, age 70
inclusion body myositis
drug given for high cholesterol
= statin
- worry about myopathy!!!
dystrophin gene
completely gone in duchene
reduced in becker’s muscular dystrophy
on x chromosome
walking delayed
see atrophic myofibers, variation in mm. size, fatty replacement!!!
sustained mm. contractions
myotonic dystrophy - skeletal mm. weakness, cataracts, endocrinopathy, cardiomyopathy
CTG triplet repeats
glucose accum. in mm. cells
mcArdles disease - glycogen storage disease
ragged red fibers
mitochondrial myopathies
schwanomma
loss of merlin gene
cause sx by local compression: CPA –> problems with eigth nerve = acoustic neuroma
neurofibroma
have schwannoma (perineural) components but also fibroblasts, mast cells and spindle cells
superficial cutaneous = pedunculated
diffuse neurofibromas = plaque like
MPNST
malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor - 1/2 arise in NF1 pts. d/t transformation of plexiform neurofibroma
HOXD13
brachydactylyl - short boroad terminal phalanges of first digits
