ABSTRACT
Patients with Kennedy syndrome, which progresses more slowly than amyotrophic lateral sclerosis show a mild degree of motor fluctuation but rarely show significant decremental responses to repetitive nerve stimulations. Even in a patient with decremental responses to repetitive nerve stimulations, there is usually no significant improvements in motor symptoms to anticholinesterases. We experienced a patient with Kennedy syndrome, who showed significant decremental responses to repetitive nerve stimulations and a marked degree of motor fluctuation. His motor fluctuation responded dramatically to anticholinesterase. (J Korean Neurol Assoc 19(5)544~546, 2001)
