초록
저자들은 근 경련에 의한 근육통과 전신성 탈모증으로 내원하여 Satoyoshi 증후군으로 진단된 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이며, 근 경련에 탈모증이 동반된 환아의 진단에 있어 Satoyoshi 증후군을 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다.
Satoyoshi syndrome(generalized Komuragaeri disease) is a rare disorder of unknown cause, characterized by progressive, painful, intermittent muscle spasms and alopecia. Endocrinopathy with amenorrhea, secondary skeletal abnormalities, and diarrhea or unusual malabsorption are frequently seen. It seems that autoimmunity may play a role in its pathogenesis. We report a 13-year-old girl with characteristic manifestations of the syndrome. She was treated with intravenous gammaglobulin and Prednisolone. Painful muscle cramps were gradually improved, but the scalp condition did not change. Satoyoshi syndrome should be considered in children with unexplained muscle spasms and alopecia.
