Polyglucosan body disease (PBD) is a slowly progressive adult-onset glycogen storage disorder that typically affects upper and lower neurons. Myopathy, as a complication of PBD has been reported rarely and clinically manifests as chronic limb-girdle muscle weakness. We report an unusual case of PBD myopathy presenting as an asymmetric motor syndrome that clinically overlapped with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, further expanding the phenotype of this disorder.
多聚葡萄糖体病(PBD)是一种缓慢进展的成人起病的糖原贮积症,通常影响上下神经元。作为PBD的一种并发症,肌病鲜有报道,临床表现为慢性肢体带肌无力。我们报告了一例不寻常的PBD肌病病例,表现为不对称运动综合征,临床上与肌萎缩侧索硬化症重叠,进一步扩展了该疾病的表型。
