Two cases of dystrophia myotonia associated with hypothyroidism are reported. This association is not frequent. In both cases the hypothyroidism precipitated an otherwise mild muscular weakness due to dystrophia myotonia. Treatment with dried thyroid improved the muscular power, while the myotonia remained unchanged. Since dystrophia myotonica and hypothyroidism have many presenting symptoms in common, a complete assessment of the thyroid function in every case of dystrophia myotonica seems worthwhile.
报告了两例与甲状腺功能减退相关的强直性肌营养不良症。这种关联并不常见。在这两例中，甲状腺功能减退使原本因强直性肌营养不良症而轻度的肌肉无力加重。用干甲状腺素治疗可改善肌肉力量，而肌强直则保持不变。由于强直性肌营养不良症和甲状腺功能减退有许多共同的症状表现，因此对每例强直性肌营养不良症患者进行甲状腺功能的全面评估似乎是值得的。
