Descriptor Spanish: Trastornos Musculares Atróficos
Descriptor trastornos musculares atróficos
Entry term(s) atrofia espinopontina
atrofia por desuso
Scope note: Trastornos que se caracterizan por reducción anormal del volumen muscular debida a disminución del tamaño o del número de las fibras musculares. La atrofia puede deberse a enfermedades intrínsecas del tejido muscular (p.ej., DISTROFIA MUSCULAR) o ser secundaria a ENFERMEDADES DEL SISTEMA NERVIOSO PERIFÉRICO que afectan a la inervación del tejido muscular (p. ej., ATROFIA MUSCULAR ESPINAL).

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020966
Scope note: Disorders characterized by an abnormal reduction in muscle volume due to a decrease in the size or number of muscle fibers. Atrophy may result from diseases intrinsic to muscle tissue (e.g., MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY) or secondary to PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES that impair innervation to muscle tissue (e.g., MUSCULAR ATROPHY, SPINAL).
