"Undiagnosing" multiple sclerosis: the challenge of misdiagnosis in MS.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To clarify the possible relation between the extent of involvement of catecholaminergic neurons and the presence of alveolar hypoventilation in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MyD). BACKGROUND:Respiratory insufficiency has been reported frequently in MyD patients. Recent data support the hypothesis that th...
