Abstract
These syndromes are discussed with the dystrophies for historical reasons. Many patients, still living, bear the label of limb girdle dystrophy, although recent studies suggest this diagnosis and likewise that of many cases of scapuloperoneal dystrophy is frequently erroneous1. Nevertheless, rare dystrophies with these clinical patterns may exist2.
