AAN and AANEM Issue Guideline on Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy

The American Academy of Neurology and American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine have published a guideline on the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD). This condition can be confused with other neuromuscular disorders (such as other muscular dystrophies or polymyositis), leading to an inaccurate diagnosis and, sometimes, to unnecessary treatment.
