Segmental spinal muscular atrophy of adolescence is a clinical syndrome that can be distinguished from the more common forms of motor neuron disease. A patient with this syndrome who was no longer able to care for herself is described. After selective tendon transfers in her right upper extremity, she has been able to perform many of the activities of daily living. This improved function has been maintained for more than 2 years. We suggest that transfer of tendons and muscles may be indicated in selected patients with slowly progressive muscular atrophy.
青少年节段性脊髓性肌萎缩是一种可与更常见形式的运动神经元疾病相鉴别的临床综合征。本文描述了一名无法自理的该综合征患者。在对其右上肢进行选择性肌腱转位术后，她已能够进行许多日常生活活动。这种改善后的功能已维持了两年多。我们建议，对于某些患有缓慢进展性肌萎缩的患者，可能需要进行肌腱和肌肉转位手术。
