A Rare, Yet Treatable Cause Of Muscle Weakness
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Muscle hypertrophy and weakness are common symptoms of muscular disease which usually show poor response to treatment and poor prognosis most of the time. But there are potentially treatable conditions which can mimic muscular disease signifying the importance of proper clinical evaluation of myopathic symptoms to recognise treatable conditions at the earliest. In this case we are discussing about an adult male who presented with myopathic symptoms which significantly improved with specific management of the underlying condition.
