Motor neuron disease mimics in practice
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 ...
Motor Neuron Disease: To Identify the Mimics and Chameleons at ...
clinical practice and to discuss the diagnostic tools that should be performed for those who has been considered possible motor neuron disease.
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 ...
Inclusion Body Myositis Mimicking Motor Neuron Disease
Conclusions Inclusion body myositis may mimic motor neuron disease. Muscle biopsy and quantitative electromyographic analysis are indicated in patients with ...
Mimics and chameleons in motor neurone disease - ResearchGate
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 ...
Disease incidence is approx. 1.2–4.0 per 100,000 among Caucasians; thus ALS is the most common motor neuron disease (MND) [1]. Prevalence varies ...
Mimics and chameleons in motor neurone disease - Semantic Scholar
Lack of confidence about the scope of MND variation has the potential to exacerbate diagnostic delay in MND and impede timely planning of the care which is ...
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%]).
Motor neuron disease mimics in practice: a case series
In the majority of cases of motor neuron disease (MND), diagnosis is clinical and unambiguous. However, given the gravity of the diagnosis, it is crucial ...
A case of celiac disease mimicking amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
The etiology of ALS is unknown, although there are multiple molecular hypotheses to explain the specificity of motor neuron degeneration. Despite anecdotal ...
False Positives and False Negatives: How ALS Can be Misdiagnosed
It also makes sense that what's initially diagnosed as another motor neuron disease is, in fact, ALS. Many experts believe some of these — ...
10 Differential Diagnosis of Motor Neuron Disease - Oxford Academic
Given the poor prognosis of MND, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) in particular, there is concern for disorders that ...
Mimic syndromes in sporadic cases of progressive spinal muscular ...
The frequency of misdiagnoses in MND was analyzed in the Scottish Motor Neuron Disease Register. In 8% (46/552), an alternative diagnosis was made. In a study ...
Challenges in diagnosis of motor neuron disease: A case series of ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is most often a sporadic disorder that affects both upper and lower motor neurons. Because the prognosis of ALS is ...
Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of MND/ALS: IFCN handbook ...
The group of neuromuscular diseases associated with progressive weakness caused by motor neuron degeneration are designated motor neuron diseases (MND). The ...
