| Werdnig-Hoffmann spinal muscular a. |
a progressive, infantile, autosomal recessive form of muscular dystrophy, usually occurring in siblings rather than in successive generations, and resulting from degeneration of the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord. It is marked by early onset (usually at about six months of age, but sometimes prenatally), hypotonia and wasting of the muscles, complete flaccid paralysis, and death, usually in early life. Called also Hoffmann's a., infantile spinal muscular a., and Werdnig-Hoffmann disease.
