The definition of neuromuscular diseases affecting infants has depended on factors as various as the rate of progression of the illness, the clinical picture, and, recently, the morphologic peculiarities in the muscle biopsy. A review of the literature suggests that there are discrepancies in the classification of such illnesses, no matter what system is used. In some instances, a single diagnosis seems to include patients with quite separate illnesses, whereas other patients with seemingly identical diseases have been given different diagnoses.
影响婴儿的神经肌肉疾病的定义取决于多种因素，如疾病的进展速度、临床表现，以及最近肌肉活检中的形态学特征。对文献的回顾表明，无论使用何种系统，此类疾病的分类都存在差异。在某些情况下，单一诊断似乎涵盖了患有截然不同疾病的患者，而其他患有看似相同疾病的患者却被给予了不同的诊断。
