Abstract:

Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis (MSL) is a rare syndrome characterized by symmetric unencapsulated lipomas around the axial region and frequently associated with neurological involvement, particularly myopathy and neuropathy (Klopstock et al., 1994). Here we present a typical image of a patient with MSL, explaining this disease for neurologists who might care for these patients in an average day at the neuromuscular consultation unit.
