Abstract excerpt
The AA., after a review cases of girls suffering from a muscular dystrophy like Duchenne, present two cases that they think to set in the same nosographical context. Even though they admit its extreme rarity and the possiblility that many cases previously published are controversial, they accept that Duchenne myodistrophic syndromes certainly occur in girls, even if their substantial nature remain uncertain.
