Of these, diseases of the muscle, myopathies are probably the least common compared the other neuromuscular disorders; many of which are genetic in aetiology, and often presenting in infancy or childhood. Until recently, apart from the inflammatory myopathies, it was a common misconception among general physicians that these disorders are rare and untreatable; and management is essentially supportive only. In this lecture, I shall highlight several muscle disorders which present not in the paediatric but in the adult Malaysian population and for which specific treatments are now available.
