Description
Rajat Gupta, Nityanand Pandey, and Basanti Mazumdar report a rare two-sided case of Hirayama disease in a 2026 article. A 23-year-old man had six years of growing weakness and wasting in both lower arms, starting on the right. The pattern spared one forearm muscle, a classic clue, and nerve tests showed chronic lower neck nerve loss with intact feeling.
Standard scans showed a thinned lower neck cord. Bending scans then showed backward cord squeeze with a glowing crescent space behind the cord, matching Hirayama disease. Two-sided even disease is rare and can mimic motor neuron disease. Back-of-neck stabilisation halted progress and improved function in this case.
