Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), is a very rare neuroimmunologic disorder characterized by progressive muscle pain, rigidity, stiffness, and spasms. It can be very debilitating if misdiagnosed or not recognized in time. Herein we discuss a case of a female in her 20s who presented with an unsteady gait, lower extremity weakness, persistent leg pain, and stiffness few weeks after uncomplicated childbirth. She has type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) and was diagnosed with thyroiditis in the course of her illness. The triad of thyroiditis, DM, and stiffness with normal neuroimaging in a young female patient is an unusual occurrence.
僵人综合征(SPS)是一种非常罕见的神经免疫性疾病,其特征为进行性肌肉疼痛、僵硬、强直和痉挛。如果误诊或未及时识别,它可能会使人非常虚弱。在此,我们讨论一例20多岁女性的病例,该患者在顺产几周后出现步态不稳、下肢无力、持续性腿痛和僵硬。她患有1型糖尿病(DM),在病程中被诊断出患有甲状腺炎。在一名年轻女性患者中,甲状腺炎、DM和神经影像学正常的僵硬三联征是一种不寻常的情况。
