This case report describes a young woman who presented with slowly progressing weakness of the proximal limb muscles and slight decrease of muscle tone but otherwise unremarkable neurological history. Diagnostic workup revealed fatty degeneration of the girdle muscles and an excessive increase of the parathyroid hormone as a result of severe vitamin D deficiency. Secondary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed, and neurological deficits resolved after treatment of the underlying endocrinopathy.
本病例报告描述了一名年轻女性,她表现为近端肢体肌肉进行性无力和肌张力轻度降低,但神经系统病史无其他异常。诊断检查发现肩胛带肌肉脂肪变性,由于严重维生素D缺乏导致甲状旁腺激素过度升高。诊断为继发性甲状旁腺功能亢进,潜在内分泌病治疗后神经功能缺损得以缓解。
