Abstract
A patient is described with distinctive clinical features including childhood onset of non-progressive muscle weakness, limitation of flexion of the neck and spine, scoliosis and joint contracture. Muscle biopsy and electromyography showed findings suggestive of a myopathic disorder. The combination of these distinctive clinical features is termed the rigid spine syndrome. Only 6 cases have been reported in the literature to date.
