Atypical Myositis Presenting with Peripheral Neuropathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Necrotizing Autoimmune Myositis (NAM) is an Acute autoimmune disease of the proximal skeletal muscle. The increased rate of morbidity and mortality in NAM is related to the severety and extant of muscle weakness. Patients with NAM develop antibodies to a specific signal recognition particle (anti-SRP ab). Peripheral neuropathy is extremely rare during the course of the disease. We report the case of a 35 y old male, hospitalized for severe proximal and distal muscle weakness with positive anti-SRB ab and concomitant peripheral neuropathy. The outcome was severe respiratory failure and death.

متن کاملSimultaneous Combined Myositis, Inflammatory Polyneuropathy, and Overlap Myasthenic Syndrome
Immune-mediated neuromuscular disorders include pathologies of the peripheral nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. If overlap syndromes (or the association of almost two autoimmune disorders) are recognized, the simultaneous occurrence of several autoimmune neuromuscular disorders is rare. We describe two patients presenting the simultaneous occurrence of inflammatory neuropathy...

متن کاملA paraneoplastic manifestation of metastatic breast cancer responding to endocrine therapy: a case report
BACKGROUND Many cancers are known to be associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. These syndromes are usually treated by chemotherapy with or without immunosupression but they often respond poorly. There are no published reviews on response to endocrine treatment. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a patient presenting with papillitis, myositis and sensory peripheral neuropathy 18 months b...
متن کاملNovel LMNA mutation in atypical Werner syndrome presenting with ischemic disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Laminopathies arise through mutations in genes encoding Lamin A/C (LMNA) or associated proteins. They cause 4 different groups of disorders with diverse severity and often overlapping features: diseases of striated muscle (leading to muscular or cardiac involvement), peripheral neuropathy, lipodystrophy syndromes, and accelerated aging disorders. SUMMARY OF CASE We repo...
