Acquired patellar instability and distal femoral epiphysiolysis secondary to Satoyoshi Syndrome

Abstract

Satoyoshi syndrome, is a rare neuromuscular syndrome with postnatal onset and multisystemic involvement. Musculoskeletal disorders caused by painful and uncontrolled muscle spasms are important components of this syndrome. In this report, we summarize a case of Satoyoshi syndrome in a 12 year old girl with diagnosis of acquired patellar instability caused by distal femoral physeal injury caused by repetitive muscle spasms.

Satoyoshi Sendromu’na Sekonder Edinilmiş Patellar İnstabilite ve Distal Femoral Epfizyoliz

Abstract

Satoyoshi sendromu, postnatal başlangıçlı nadir görülen multisitemik tutulumu olan bir nöromusküler hastalıktır. Ağrılı kas spazmları ile karakterize bu sendromda, kas spazmlarına sekonder ortopedik bozukluklar gözlenebilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, Satoyoshi sendromu tanısı olan 12 yaşında kız olguda gözlenen distal femur büyüme plağında meydana gelen değişiklikler ve buna sekonder gelişen patellar instabilite durumu özetlenmektedir.
