Polymyositis Masquerading as Motor Neuron Disease
Arch Neurol 60:1001-1003, Ryan,A.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Bulbar-onset polymyositis may mimic MND, particularly in the absence of inflammatory markers or elevated muscle enzyme levels. Caution should be exercised in the clinical diagnosis of bulbar dysfunction, and further investigations such as electromyography and muscle biopsy are indicated to confirm the diagnosis.
