BABY AND CHILDHOOD NERVOUS SYSTEM AND MUSCLE DISORDERS: MUSCLE DISORDERS
Various disorders of the child's muscles may occur, though they are usually rare. The common symptom is weakness, and this often worsens as the disease progresses. Here brief mention will be made of some of these disorders.
Progressive muscular dystrophy
This may start between the ages of 3 and 6 years, with difficulty in walking and a strange 'waddling' gait. The limbs are affected, but the hands and feet seem to escape. The infant reaches the erect position by 'climbing up his legs'. Although efforts at maintaining good physical condition may assist—as does physical therapy—the outcome is usually unsuccessful and most children die within 5 to 10 years from a lung infection such as pneumonia.
Myasthenia gravis
This uncommon disease occasionally affects children, causing weakness of the muscles and a rapid tiring. Onset may occur at any time, but usually not until after puberty. The thymus gland (located low in the neck) is blamed, and this is sometimes removed with good results. Drug therapy using a chemical called neostigmine also gives satisfactory results but must be kept up indefinitely.
