2023年12月6日 · Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an inherited disease that often affects muscles in your face and upper body but can spread to any muscle in your body. Symptoms typically develop between adolescence and age 20 to 30. There’s no cure for FSHD, but there are therapies to ease your symptoms and help you keep up your quality of life.

2020年10月28日 · Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a progressive inherited muscle disorder. A highly characteristic sign of FSHD is facial weakness that may vary between patients from minimal asymmetry to myopathic facies [1, 2].

Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is a genetically acquired condition that is characterised by gradually progressive asymmetrical muscle weakness of the face, scapular region, upper limbs (humeral) and distal lower limbs (peroneal) [1].

Purpose of Review: This article describes the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, molecular pathogenesis, and treatment of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). Recent Findings: FSHD comprises two genetically distinct types that converge ...

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a genetic muscle disorder in which the muscles of the face, shoulder blades, and upper arms are among the most affected.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most common type of muscular dystrophy. It is a complex genetic disorder characterized in most cases by slowly progressive muscle weakness involving the facial, scapular, upper arm, lower leg, and hip girdle muscles, usually with asymmetric involvement.

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a type of muscular dystrophy, a group of heritable diseases that cause degeneration of muscle and progressive weakness. Per the name, FSHD tends to sequentially weaken the muscles of the face, those that position the scapula, and those overlying the humerus bone of the upper arm.

In patients who have FSHD and either (1) compromised pulmonary function studies (e.g., forced vital capacity <60%) or (2) symptoms of excessive daytime somnolence or nonrestorative sleep (e.g., frequent nocturnal arousals, morning headaches), clinicians should refer patients for pulmonary or sleep medicine consultation for consideration of ...

It may not be noticed right away by people with FSHD and usually is brought to their attention by somebody else. The muscles most affected are those that surround the eyes and mouth. It is hard to smile, pucker the lips, or get much strength in the mouth, which is why people with the disease have trouble with balloons, straws, and whistling.

FSHD (facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy) is an inherited muscle disorder that most often manifests with weakness of the muscles of the face (facies), the shoulder blade (scapula) and the upper arms (humeri). There is some variation in the sequence of muscle involvement and its severity, within and between families.
