La FSH, encore appelée myopathie de Landouzy-Déjerine, débute habituellement dans la deuxième décennie et se manifeste par une atteinte musculaire asymétrique et sélective affectant la face (orbiculaires, muscles des joues et des lèvres), la ceinture scapulaire (fixateurs de l'omoplate avec respect relatif des deltoïdes).
