Motor neuron disease mimics in practice: a case series - PubMed

In the majority of cases of motor neuron disease (MND), diagnosis is clinical and unambiguous. However, given the gravity of the diagnosis, ...

Motor neuron disease mimics in practice: a case series - PMC - NCBI

We present three cases referred to our clinic with possible MND with unusual features that led to an alternative diagnosis.

Mimics and chameleons in motor neurone disease

There is no diagnostic test for MND but in reality there are few plausible mimics in routine clinical practice. In the presence of a progressive pure motor ...

What Conditions Can Mimic ALS? - Healthline

Conditions like myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, and other motor neuron diseases can mimic ALS due to similar symptoms.

Conditions that mimic MND - Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

Some diseases of the muscles themselves (rather than with the motor neurones) can mimic motor neurone disease. The medical team may perform ...

Uncommon neurological presentations and stroke mimics

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most typical form accounting for 85% of cases of MND and has both spinal and cortical involvement.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Mimic Syndromes - JAMA Network

Multifocal motor neuropathy was the most common condition mistaken for ALS, accounting for 7 cases (22%), followed closely by Kennedy disease (4 cases [13%]).
