Sažetak
Dermatomyosytis, a rare inflammatory myopathy occurs with incidence of 1:17000, more often in
females. Spontaneous electromyography (EMG) activity in the disease is well known, especially in the acute
disease: 46-yrs old female, was examined and treated by dermatologist, because of skin inflammatory changes A
neurological examination was then suggested, suspecting myositis. No family history of neuromuscular disorders,
or any important disease is known. She had skin efflorescence’s for the last two years, a muscular weakness a
last three weeks. In the physical examination a upper limb palsy (MRC 3), a and tie muscle palsy together with positive Gower’s sign. During the hospitalization a laboratory, electrophysiogical and hystopathological studies have been done. An inflammatory myopathy or polymyositis criteria (Bohan and Peter) was presented in case. Normal finding in muscle particle analysis could be negative if the preserved part of muscle was taken by biopsy.EMG HF discharges were similar to those often found in some rare inherited/genetic neuromuscular disease.
