Since the first description of primary adrenocortical insufficiency by Thomas Addison in 1855 several large series of patients with Addison's disease have been published. The common signs and symptoms include: weakness, hyperpigmentation, weight loss, gastrointestinal complaints, and hypotension. It is rare for patients with Addison's disease to present with musculoskeletal symptoms including flexion contractures, hyperkalaemic neuromyopathy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, migratory myalgia, sciatica-like pain, and low back pain. Myopathy has not been previously described in Addison's disease. Herein we report a patient presenting with severe hyponatraemia and myopathy which resolved after steroid replacement therapy.
自1855年托马斯·艾迪生首次描述原发性肾上腺皮质功能不全以来,已发表了几篇关于艾迪生病患者的大型系列报道。常见的体征和症状包括:虚弱、色素沉着、体重减轻、胃肠道不适和低血压。艾迪生病患者出现肌肉骨骼症状,如屈曲挛缩、高钾性神经病变、吉兰-巴雷综合征、游走性肌痛、坐骨神经痛样疼痛和腰痛的情况较为罕见。此前尚未有艾迪生病伴发肌病的相关描述。在此,我们报告一例出现严重低钠血症和肌病的患者,其在接受类固醇替代治疗后症状得到缓解。
