Multisystemic Features of Myotonic Dystrophy
Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a multisystemic disorder that can affect all age groups. Because of the range of systems affected, management requires a more expansive approach than most disorders and care is best provided by a coordinated, multidisciplinary team.
Information on the symptoms, diagnosis and management of each system affected by myotonic dystrophy is available in the links below. Note that the information on each page is also available in a downloadable fact sheet by clicking on "print this page". All of the information has been carefully reviewed and edited by the Medical Advisors for the MDF.
