摘要：

We report a case of stiff-person syndrome associated with several autoimmune diseases. A 49-year-old male with type 1 diabetes presented with a 6-month history of muscle rigidity and spasms of his upper and lower extremities. Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 antibody was elevated at 609 nmol/L. Electromyography revealed continuous motor unit activity in agonist and antagonist muscles. He responded favorably to diazepam, baclofen, and intravenous immunoglobulin infusions. This case report describes stiff-person syndrome in association with pernicious anemia and diabetes mellitus. A review of the literature discusses the diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity.
