| Abstrakt: | Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked form of muscular dystrophy characterized by progressive limb-girdle distribution of muscle weakness. Morbidity related to cardiomyopathy (CMO) is common, but cerebral infarction (CI) is relatively rare in these patients. We report a case of a pontine infarct in a patient with DMD and advanced CMO, and review the published data on CMO and CI in patients with DMD. (Copyright © 2011 National Stroke Association.
