  • Juvenile dermatomyositis is a common inflammatory muscle disease of childhood, characterized by weakness in proximal muscles and specific skin rash. In case of juvenile dermatomyositis without characteristic clinical features, non-invasive imaging tools such as $^{99m}Tc$-HDP three-phase bone scan are very helpful in diagnostic workup of myopathies. We report a case of 13-year old female with juvenile dermatomyositis, in which $^{99m}Tc$-HDP three-phase bone scan was useful in diagnosis and assessing therapy response.

  • Reversible conduction block (RCB) was rare in patients with acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN). A-46-year-old man presented with paresthesia, weakness, diplopia, and dysarthria. Nerve conduction study (NCS) exhibited axonal changes with conduction block in motor and sensory nerves. His symptoms were rapidly progressed and recovered. Conduction block was disappeared in the follow-up NCS performed after 2 weeks. The AMSAN case with RCB showed rapid progress and rapid recovery of clinical symptoms as acute motor axonal neuropathy patients with RCB.
