Abstract

Dysphagia can be one of the manifestations of inflammatory myopathies (IMs). In some patients, it can be one of the presenting symptoms or the only symptom. We present a patient with dysphagia and progressive muscle weakness who was eventually diagnosed with inclusion body myositis (IBM). Treatment with oral steroid provided no major improvement in symptoms and thus was eventually stopped. Dysphagia in IMs is associated with complications and poor prognosis. A multidisciplinary approach is needed in its diagnosis and management as this report exemplifies.
