Familial ALS with SOD1 mutation misdiagnosed with polyradiculopathy and myopathy.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis : official publication of the World Federation of Neurology Research Group on Motor Neuron Diseases - 1 Jan 2000

Zhou Lan, Pioro Erik P

Abstract excerpt

We report a 54-year-old male with progressive and asymmetrical lower extremity weakness caused by familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS) with a Cu/Zn superoxidase dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene mutation. He was initially misdiagnosed with a lumbosacral polyradiculopathy because of spinal stenosis and underwent a laminectomy surgery with no benefit. He was also misdiagnosed with a myopathy due to moderate CK...
