  • Title: Calf enlargement associated with neurologic disease: two uncommon cases.
    Author: Harwood SC, Honet JC.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1988 Jan; 69(1):48-50. PubMed ID: 3337640.
    Abstract:
    Muscle enlargement and hypertrophy are rare findings in neurogenic lesions. The two in combination have been reported in cases of peripheral nerve lesions, polyneuropathy, and poliomyelitis. True and pseudo muscle hypertrophy are the two possible etiologies, whereas infiltration, stretch, or exercise of the muscle are the causative factors. We report two cases of unilateral calf enlargement, one occurring after surgery for S1 radiculopathy with associated cramping, and the other after poliomyelitis.
