Abstract

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown cause. It is characterized by diffuse involvement of cortical, bulbar and spinal motor neurons. The diagnostic of this disorder is based in demonstrating of abnormalities of upper motor neurons with involvement of low motor neuron. In Europe and the United States, ALS affects about 2 people per 100 000 habitants per year. Neurophysiological studies are a basic tool for ALS diagnostic; they are useful to differentiate ALS from other neurological diseases. Image studies, especially Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) is very useful to differentiate ALS from others diseases, like cervical spondylotic myelopathy, medullar tumor, syringomyelia, that look like ALS.
