Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Introducing a unique clinical case of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy associated with LBP that was initially misdiagnosed as non-specific LBP

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This case report describes the history, examination findings, and clinical reasoning used for a patient suffering from LBP as a chief complaint. A new sign appeared in MRI, which prompted the author to change the diagnosis process from lower back pain to a mysterious neurological disease, The MRI revealed widespread fat deposit in the lumbar paraspinal muscles. This MRI sign prompted the authors to do more lab investigation, showing a notably elevated level of creatinine phosphokinase (906 u/L). Further clinical examination revealed proximal muscle weakness, winging of scapula and Bilateral LMN facial palsy. Therefore, the patient was ultimately directed to a neurologist who confirmed the diagnosis of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy
