Clinical findings of two brothers suffering from progressive muscular dystrophy pseudohypertrophic type according to Duchenne are reported. Literatures dealing with its clinical classification, biochemical disturbances, hypotheses of the pathogenesis, management of treatment, mode of action of A.T.P. and the pedigree have been briefly reported.
