SIGNED BY DUCHENNE DE BOULOGNE TO GUENEAU DE MUSSY (in pencil): "A mon ami Gueneau de Mussy/ Duchenne de Boulogne" (see photo).
First Edition in book form of Garrison-Morton 4739 (citing journal appearance): Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Duchenne first noted a previously unrecognized disease of the muscular apparatus which he referred to as pseudohypertrophic paralysis.
In 1868, he published his definitive description of this disease, noting with an occasional exception that electric response of the muscles remained normal.
This syndrome retained the name of pseudohypertrophic (a descriptive adjective), but later nosology changed the word paralysis to dystrophy.
This was the first recognition of the group of muscular syndromes now known as the dystrophies (Bick, Classics of Orthopaedics, p.
75).
