A Case of Scapulo-Tibio-Peroneal Syndrome

The authors describe a case of scapulo-tibio-peroneal amyotrophy of early onset. The spinal nature of the disease is indicated by the electromyographic and histoenzymologic evidence. Two brothers of the patient show a distal muscular wasting in the lower limbs. The nosographic position and the possible relationship of this form with the neural atrophy of Charcot-Marie-Tooth are discussed.
