Scapuloperoneal atrophy with sensory involvement: Davidenkow's syndrome.

M S Schwartz, M Swash
PMCID: PMC492157  PMID: 1206415

Abstract

A patient with scapuloperoneal atrophy of neurogenic type, in whome there was also distal sensory impairment, has been studied with conventional EMG, single fibre EMG, and muscle biopsy. This disorder, described by Davidenkow, may be a distinct entity.
