A Case of Dropped Head plus Syndrome

Abstract

UNLABELLED: A patient developed neck extensor weakness along with symmetrical, mild proximal extremity weakness. Electrodiagnostic findings were minimal. Subsequently muscle biopsy was undertaken which showed myopathic changes as well as rimmed vacuoles. This case highlights the discussion of histopatholgical findings seen in neck extensor weakness when it occurs in isolation as well as when it is associated with weakness in other distribution.KEYWORDS: Neck extensor weakness; Rimmed vacuoles; Myopathy.
