Five preterm babies with the neonatal form of dystrophia myotonica are reported. In addition to the generally accepted signs and symptoms of the disease, two other features were present in these patients; oedema was notable in all 5 babies and 4 had unexplained haematomas. It is suggested that premature birth may be a result of severe involvement and that prematurity further aggravates the symptoms.
报告了5例患有新生儿型强直性肌营养不良的早产儿。除了该疾病公认的体征和症状外,这些患者还存在另外两个特征;所有5例婴儿均有明显水肿,4例有不明原因的血肿。提示早产可能是病情严重的结果,而早产会进一步加重症状。
