Introduction: Statin use can lead to various muscle-related issues, including benign creatine kinase (CK) elevations, myalgias, toxic myopathies, rhabdomyolysis, and immune-mediated necrotizing myositis (IMNM), which primarily affects older males. IMNM presents with proximal muscle weakness, elevated CK levels, and specific antibodies.
Case Presentation: We describe a 72-year-old patient with muscle weakness persisting for over 3 years after statin therapy.
Introduction: We present a systematic review of phenotypes of McLeod syndrome (MLS) and a case of a 73-year-old female carrier of the genetic alteration leading to MLS with the typical progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) phenotype.
Methods: To facilitate clinical reasoning and enable targeted diagnosis, we conducted a systematic review of the papers describing symptomatic cases of confirmed McLeod syndrome. This review follows the PRISMA 2020 statement: an updated guideline for reporting systematic reviews (Page et al in Syst Rev 10(1):89, 2021).
