A comprehensive study of Thomsen's disease has been accomplished quite a bit, and for the mood, in the words of R. I. Rossolimo, it seems that the time has come when the study of typical cases gave everything that could be demanded from it, having established a more or less exact picture of the disease , and when there was a need for help on the part of deviations from the typical form. " However, the question of the essence and genesis of this suffering can hardly be considered explained satisfactorily enough to neglect the description of the not so often encountered individual cases of myotonia, even if even these cases differed little from typical ones.
