Muscle diseases are not as common as headaches and funny turns in our general neurology clinics, but most of us will encounter them. We all pride ourselves on a methodical approach to clinical problems-discovering the where and what in neurological parlance-but any diagnostic process can unravel, particularly if one condition resembles another. Before we settle on a diagnosis, we need to ask ourselves, whether the 'ducks all line up' to avoid cases of mistaken identity.
在我们普通神经科门诊中，肌肉疾病不像头痛和短暂性发作那么常见，但我们大多数人都会遇到它们。我们都为自己处理临床问题的有条不紊的方法而自豪——用神经学的术语来说就是找出病变部位和病变情况——但任何诊断过程都可能出现混乱，尤其是当一种病症与另一种病症相似时。在我们确定诊断之前，我们需要问问自己，是否所有情况都符合，以避免误诊。
