Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM) is a rare and severe syndrome characterized by rigidity of the limb and truncal muscles, brainstem signs, myoclonus, and hyperekplexia. Iliopsoas hematoma is a serious complication of bleeding disorders that occurs most commonly in patients with hemophilia and also in association with anti-coagulant drug treatment. We herein present a case of PERM complicated with bilateral iliopsoas hematomas. His neurological symptoms improved after immunotherapy, and thereafter the iliopsoas hematomas disappeared. Neurologists should consider iliopsoas hematomas as a serious potential complication of PERM.
进行性脑脊髓炎伴僵硬和肌阵挛(PERM)是一种罕见且严重的综合征,其特征为肢体和躯干肌肉僵硬、脑干征、肌阵挛和强肌反射亢进。髂腰肌血肿是出血性疾病的严重并发症,最常见于血友病患者,也与抗凝药物治疗有关。本文报告了一例 PERM 合并双侧髂腰肌血肿的病例。他的神经症状在免疫治疗后得到改善,此后髂腰肌血肿消失。神经病学家应将髂腰肌血肿视为 PERM 的一种严重潜在并发症。
