- Abstract
- Steroid mvopathy is a skeletal muscle disease that develops in condition both endogenous and exogenous glucocorticoid excess and is characterized by muscle weakness. Myalgia, and wasting. The onset is usually insidious and the distribution of weakness is primarily proximal uith the legs more severely involved than the arms; cranial-nerve-in nervated muscles and sphin＊ers are usually spared. We report a 60-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis uho was managed by prednisone and dexamethasone over 20 years and showed progressive lower limb weakness afterwards.
