Abstract:
We describe a 72-year-old male with bulbospinal muscular atrophy (BSMA) who was being treated for diabetes mellitus and congestive heart failure due to an old myocardial infarction. Although BSMA is a rare form of X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy of late onset, this case is a sporadic case. We emphasize the importance of recognizing a sporadic case of BSMA.
