We describe clinical, pathological, and muscle imaging findings in a patient with an early adult-onset progressive muscular weakness in association with atrophy beginning in the legs and involving both gastrocnemi in particular. Muscle biopsy findings showed a severe dystrophic process with no vacuoles, consistent with Miyoshi's myopathy. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans were used to provide an ongoing permanent record of the various stages of the disease.

Abstract
We describe clinical, pathological, and muscle imaging findings in a patient with an early adult-onset progressive muscular weakness in association with atrophy beginning in the legs and involving both gastrocnemi in particular. Muscle biopsy findings showed a severe dystrophic process with no vacuoles, consistent with Miyoshi's myopathy. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans were used to provide an ongoing permanent record of the various stages of the disease.
