The association of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) with other neurological disorders is uncommon.
We report a 25-year-old female with LGMD who suffered from slowly progressive proximal muscular weakness and atrophy since she was 12 years of age. The patient recently presented with acute loss of left side visual acuity. After evaluation, findings were suggestive of multiple sclerosis.
This is the first report of LGMD in association with MS. The simultaneous occurrence of MS with myopathies may be incidental but there may be a genetic susceptibility for both diseases. This comorbidity may influence the treatment of MS.
肢带型肌营养不良(LGMD)与其他神经系统疾病的关联并不常见。
我们报告一名25岁患有LGMD的女性,自12岁起就患有缓慢进展的近端肌肉无力和萎缩。该患者最近出现左侧视力急性丧失。经评估,结果提示为多发性硬化症。
这是LGMD与MS相关联的首例报告。MS与肌病同时发生可能是偶然的,但这两种疾病可能存在遗传易感性。这种合并症可能会影响MS的治疗。
