[Neuromuscular manifestations in children's collagenosis (author's transl)]

Neuromuscular manifestations of children's collagenosis are revised. The incidence varies in different entities, from exceptional to constitute the main clinical characteristic of the disease. They are owed to inespecific inflammatory infiltration, vasculitis and following ischemy-infarction lesions, compressive or vicinity phenomenons, iatrogenic factors or to other pathology from the basal disease, mainly nephropathy. Muscular pathology is manifested as weakness, pain, edema atrophy, retractions and possible calcification. The neurological pathology, less important according to our experience from that described in the literature, becomes conditionated essentially by the ischemic factor, in the shape of vascular disturbances in peripheric or C.N.S. transitory or with permanent sequels.
