摘要
Hirayama disease is a juvenile benign distal upper limb muscular atrophy rarely observed in Europe, usually monomelic involving C7-Th1 innervated muscles. It is characterized by insidious onset and a self-limited course within a few years. The pathogenesis of this mostly sporadic disease is not fully clarified. Cervical flexion myelopathy with mechanical ischemic damage of spinal motoneurons is the best established pathogenetic hypothesis, but neurodegenerative and autoimmune causes are also debated. Typically, young men of Asian origin are affected. Here we describe three German Caucasian patients with Hirayama disease and provide an up-to-date review of the literature.
