Abstract

We report a 73-year-old patient with acid maltase deficiency who initially had been suspected of having motor neuron disease. We discuss clinical and electrophysiological features of muscular lysosomal glycogenosis, with special emphasis on the histopathological differential diagnosis of the disease.
