Hypertrophy of the calves has been described in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) syndrome. Pearn and Hudgson described a new spinal muscular atrophy syndrome characterized adolescent onset, gross hypertrophy of the calves, and a slowly progressive clinical course.

The patient was studied with EMG and muscle biopsy and thought to be as SMA with hypertrophied calf-muscles.
