Differential Diagnosis of Kennedy Spinal-Bulbar Amyotrophy and Familial Form of Motor Neuron Disease in the Republic Sakha (Yakutia)
Abstract
In a result of clinical and epidemiological and genetic studies of the motor neuron disease in Yakutia, according to the register of the neurological department of Belarus № 2 for the period 1989-2013 1 MND family event was identified and 3 patients with spinal - bulbar amyotrophy Kennedy. The complexity of the differential diagnosis between these diseases has been very difficult on the clinical stage of diagnosis, because in all cases isolated lesion of peripheral motonevrona characteristic of both diseases was found.
