Abstract
The diagnostic value of EMG and muscle biopsy has been compared with muscle CT in 53 patients with neuromuscular diseases. CT concordance with clinical diagnosis was found in 62% of myopathies and was highest in Duchenne PMD and scapulo-peroneal myopathy and very low in metabolic and inflammatory myopathies. In neurogenic diseases muscle CT agreed with clinical diagnosis in 63% of patients: the highest concordance was found in acquired polyneuropathies.Entities:
