Poliomyelitis Related Severe Muscle Atrophy and Fat Deposition:A Case Report
We reported a 52-year-old woman with poliomyelitis for 51 years.She was admitted for a right hip injury after a fall injury one day before admission.CT scan revealed severe atrophy and fat deposition of the pelvis,buttock,and thigh muscles,with widening of the right hip joint space.There was also fracture in the the right femoral neck.As poliomyelitis causes muscle disuse,volume decreases,fat deposition occurred in her muscle in the later stage.The patient was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome(PPS);ln this case,the area of muscle's cross-sectional area(CSA)was significantly reduced,and the area of intermuscular tissue in CSA at all levels of thigh reached 50-70％.It is very rare to have such multiple complete muscle fat deposition in a patient.
