[Neurogenic muscle hypertrophy].
[focal myositis]
Enlargement
of
the
calf
usually
is
associated
with
venous
thrombosis
,
haemorrhage
,
focal
myositis
or
a
tumour
in
bone
or
muscle
.
Occasionally
a
calf
enlargement
is
due
to
isolated
muscle
hypertrophy
as
a
sign
of
radicular
or
peripheral
nerve
injury
.
Most
neurogenic
muscle
hypertrophy
is
confined
to
the
calf
muscle
,
but
the
phenomenon
has
also
been
seen
in
other
muscles
.
Three
patients
with
S-
I
radiculopathy
leading
to
ipsilateral
neurogenic
calf
hypertrophy
following
hernia
nuclei
pulposi
are
described
,
two
men
of
79
and
78
years
old
and
a
woman
of
46
years
.
The
symptoms
gradually
subsided
with
time
and
conservative
treatment
.
The
pathogenesis
of
neurogenic
muscle
hypertrophy
possibly
involves
partial
denervation
atrophy
and
compensatory
hypertrophy
of
remaining
muscle
fibres
.
