Abstract

To summarize the clinical features of a case of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS), improve the ability of early diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and summarize the treatment experience. [Methods] The clinical data of a case of sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (SALS) in our hospital were analyzed, and the diagnosis and treatment experience was summarized according to its history, clinical manifestations, and imaging and electromyogram manifestations, combined with relevant literature reports at home and abroad. [Results] After comprehensive treatment, the patient was in stable condition and discharged without any progress. After discharge, the patient continued to follow up. Although the systemic symptoms progressed, the degree was slight. [Conclusion] The etiology and pathogenesis of SALS are very complex, and the disease continues to progress. At present, there is no particularly effective treatment for this kind of disease. Comprehensive treatment can be adopted to control the development of the disease, so as to better improve the quality of life and survival rate of patients.
