Summary
Introduction and Objective: Monomelic amyotrophy (MA) is a benign motor neuron disease with a stationary stage after a progressive course, involving one or more myotomes in the upper limb. In the early stages, it may be difficult to discriminate the diseases presenting with similar clinical course. We reviewed clinical and EMG characteristics and differential diagnosis of MA for this purpose.
