We report a new case of muscle contractures associated with adrenocortical deficiency. Outstanding features were the diffusion of the contractures, rhabdomyolysis and an encephalopathy which disappeared with hormonal therapy. Endocrinological investigations revealed a functional carboxymethyl oxidase type II defect which could, in part, explain our patient's neuromuscular symptoms.
