Report of Two Cases of Kocher-Debre Semelaigne Syndrome

Abstract

Myopathy associated with hypothyroidism classically presents with proximal weakness, fatigue, exertional pain, slowed movement, myoedema, diminished deep tendon reflexes, stiffness, myalgia, less commonly cramps and rarely muscle enlargement. Muscle enlargement and hypothroidism is known as Kocher-Debre Semelaigne syndrome (KDS). We report ed here two brothers at the ages of 11 and 7 year-old diagnosed as KDS syndrome. We aimed to emphasize the effects of hypothyroidism on muscle tissue

Kocher-Debre Semelaigne Sendromlu İki Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Hipotroidi ile ilişkili miyopati klasik olarak, proksimal kas güçsüzlüğü, yorgunluk, egzersiz ağrısı, hareketlerde yavaşlama, kas ödemi, derin tendon reflekslerinde azalma, kaslarda sertleşme, ağrı daha nadir olarakta kramp ve kasın büyümesi şeklinde kendini gösterir. Kasın büyümesi Kocher-Debre Semelaigne sendromu (KDS) olarak bilinir. Biz burada 11 ve 7 yaşlarında KDS sendromlu iki erkek kardeş olguyu sunarak hipotroidinin kas dokusu üzerindeki etkilerini vurgulamayı amaçladık
