Camptocormia, first described by Brodie in 1818, is defined as involuntary forward flexion of
thoracolumbar spine. For many years, camptocormia was considered as chronic abnormal flexion of
trunk with its origin primarily on psychiatric symptom. However, in these days, it is becoming
recognized as a disease of progressive weakness in paravertebral muscles associated with many
causes. We report a case with clinical suspicion of focal myopathy demonstrating symmetrical
paraspinal muscle atrophy and fatty changes. |
