Abstract

Stiff Person syndrome (SPS) is a rare, disabling syndrome characterized by progressive muscle stiffness and axial rigidity. It may have an autoimmune, paraneoplasticor cryptogenic etiology. A 59-year-old woman presented with stiffness and involuntary spasms in the lower extremities. In a neurologic examination, lowerextremity and axial rigidity were revealed. Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody was negative, anti-amphiphysin was antibody positive. She was diagnosedas having SPS. The symptoms were improved after intravenous immunoglobulin and cancer therapy.

Özet

Stiff Person sendromu (SPS), kaslarda ilerleyici katılık ve aksiyel kaslarda rijidite ile karakterize; nadir görüleni özürlülük oluşturabilen bir sendromdur. Otoimmün, paraneoplastik veya kritojenik etiyolojiye sahip olabilir. Elli dokuz yaşında kadın hasta bacaklarında katılık ve istemsiz spazmlar ile başvurdu. Nörolojik muayenede bacaklarda ve aksiyel kaslarda rijite saptandı. Anti-glutamik asit dekarboksilaz antikoru negatif, anti-amfifizin antikoru pozitifti. SPS tanısı kondu. İntravenöz immünoglobulin ve kanser tedavisinin ardından hastanın bulgularında düzelme izlendi.
