The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) have published guidelines regarding CMD, based on review of the literature. Geographic and ethnic background, clinical features, brain imaging studies, muscle imaging studies, muscle biopsies, and genetic testing can help to determine some subtype-specific diagnoses. Multi-organ system complications occur frequently in children with CMD and a multidisciplinary care team can be beneficial in developing a treatment plan. The guideline was published March 31 in Neurology.
