Article Synopsis
- Immune mediated necrotising myopathy (IMNM) is a rare autoimmune muscle disease linked to idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, typically diagnosed through a muscle biopsy that shows muscle damage without significant inflammation.
- Historical terms like 'neuromyositis' describe some muscle conditions with nerve involvement, but no previous cases of polyneuropathy combined with IMNM have been documented.
- A case study of a 35-year-old man revealed IMNM alongside non-length dependent axonal polyneuropathy, and he improved with steroid treatment, emphasizing the uniqueness of seronegative IMNM with nerve issues.
