Kocher-Debre-Semelaigne syndrome (KDSS) is a rare association of muscular pseudohypertrophy and long-standing moderate-to-severe hypothyroidism in the pediatric age group. It may be confused with primary muscle disorders, lest one is cautious enough to investigate for hypothyroidism. The striking clinical features, availability of a simple treatment and a good prognosis for the condition makes it worthwhile to report the case so that all practitioners be aware of the condition and its management.
科赫尔-德布雷-塞梅拉涅综合征(KDSS)是小儿年龄组中肌肉假性肥大与长期中度至重度甲状腺功能减退症的罕见关联。它可能会与原发性肌肉疾病相混淆,除非有人足够谨慎去检查是否存在甲状腺功能减退症。该病症显著的临床特征、简单治疗方法的可用性以及良好的预后,使得报告此病例很有价值,以便所有从业者都能了解该病症及其管理方法。
