Scope note: Grupo de trastornos caracterizados por degeneración progresiva de las neuronas motoras de la médula espinal, que genera debilidad y atrofia muscular, generalmente sin datos de lesión de los tractos corticoespinales. Entre las enfermedades de esta categoría se incluyen la enfermedad de Werdnig-Hoffmann y las ATROFIAS MUSCULARES ESPINALES DE LA INFANCIA de comienzo tardío, la mayoría de las cuales son hereditarias. La variante que comienza en la edad adulta se conoce como atrofia muscular progresiva. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1089)

Scope note: A group of disorders marked by progressive degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord resulting in weakness and muscular atrophy, usually without evidence of injury to the corticospinal tracts. Diseases in this category include Werdnig-Hoffmann disease and later onset SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHIES OF CHILDHOOD, most of which are hereditary. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1089)
