56 30歲李先生長得瘦高,前額禿頭,臉頰瘦長,嘴巴總是開著,頸部往前伸出像鵝頸一樣,且患有白內障。兩手無力已有多年,且逐漸加重。李先生的四肢末端皆有肌肉萎縮,肌腱反射下降,但叩診槌敲到肌肉時,肌肉會收縮約10秒鐘,李先生需要手扶膝蓋才能夠從椅子上站起來。李先生最可能患有:
myotonic dystrophy Klinefelter syndrome
Duchenne muscular dystrophy hereditary motor-sensory neuropathy, type I
A

It is characterized by wasting of the muscles (muscular dystrophy), cataracts, heart conduction defects, endocrine changes, and myotonia. Myotonic dystrophy can occur in patients of any age
