Abstract

Fasiyo-skapulo-humeral musküler distrofi yüz, skapular, üst kol, alt bacak ve kalça kuşağı kaslarını içeren, genellikle asimetrik tutulumla birlikte yavaş ilerleyen kas zayıflığı ile karakterize bir genetik bozukluktur. Semptomatik olanlarda her zaman olmasa da sıklıkla en fazla 5 kata kadar kreatinin kinaz seviyesi yükselir. Elektromiyografi miyopatik özellikler gösterir. Kas biyopsisinde nonspesifik miyopatik değişiklikler izlenir. Tanıda deltoidlerin göreceli olarak korunduğu yüz, omuz kuşağı ve üst kol zayıflığı ile başvuran hastalarda şüphelenilmelidir. Genetik analiz tanıda temel yöntemdir. Özellikle tedaviye yanıtsız dermatomiyozit hastalarında tanı tekrar gözden geçirilmeli, özellikle asimetrik ve distal kas güçsüzlüğünün olduğu hastalarda dermatomiyozit tanısından uzaklaşılmalı, yüz ve skapular kas güçsüzlüğünün eşlik ettiği hastalarda akla Fasiyo-skapulo-humeral musküler distrofi gelmelidir.

A case of Fascioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy in the differential diagnosis of dermatomyositis

Year 2024, Volume: 63 Issue: 1, 147 - 150, 19.03.2024

Abstract

Fascio-scapulo-humeral muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by slowly progressive asymmetric muscle weakness involving the facial, scapular, upper arm, lower leg, and hip muscles. In symptomatic patients, creatinine kinase level is frequently, but not always, elevated up to a maximum of 5 times. Electromyography shows myopathic features. Muscle biopsy reveals nonspecific myopathic changes. It should be suspected for diagnosis in patients presenting with facial, shoulder girdle and upper arm weakness in which the deltoids are relatively spared. Genetic analysis is the basic method in diagnosis. The diagnosis should be reconsidered especially in patients with dermatomyositis unresponsive to treatment, with asymmetric and distal muscle weakness. Fascio-scapulo-humeral muscular dystrophy should be considered in patients with facial and scapular muscle weakness.
