| Core Tip |
Inflammatory myopathies are scarce in the setting of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and could be wrongly attributed to IBD-related osteoarticular manifestations or to medications’ side effects. This case describes a very atypical presentation of myositis restricted to the legs called the ‘gastrocnemius myalgia syndrome’, an entity only described during Crohn’s disease. Its restricted location to the legs as well as normal creatine kinase levels in serum reflecting a predominant interstitial immune reaction are key characteristics in reported cases. Although corticosteroids are often used as first-line therapy, cortico-dependence is not rare and anti-tumour necrosis factor-α agents might represent an effective therapeutic option. |
