GOWER SIGN seen IN DUCHENE MUSCULAR Dystrophy





thanx

Dear Dr. Hammodi,
I know it is Poximal Myopathy, & if U review the Sclero-Derma U will see that it may be associated with Proximal Myopathy & these Skin Lesions on the Dorsum of the Hand, & somtimes it is also occur in SLE ..

& for the vedio :
It is Gower's Sign which is seen in Duchene Muscular Dystrophy ..

Salam ..

u r right it is gower's sign

dear ahmed, u r right scleroderma can cause proximal myopathy but this is not a common presentation and the skin lesions are not those of scleroderma (skin is not tight and not shiny).

Hi

I didn't catch u guys
Gower's sign goes with Duchene Muscular Dystrophy.....That's right

But does Duchene Muscular Dystrophy cause such skin lesion Or it is Scleroderma with muscular dystrophy???


Thanx

hi ahmed, those were 2 different cases. the photo shows gottron's papules due to dermatomyocitis and the video shows gower's sign which means there is proximal myopathy probably due to duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Well, no one answer except U Dr. Mobic ..
Thanx for your reply Dr. Mobic ..

But, actually it is Henoch-Schonlein Purpura ..

Salam ..

hey


but I DONT KNOW there is echymosis not purpura


and there is necrotizing ulcer of the SKIN



I WOULD BE THANKFUL IF YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO ME BECAUSE AM CONFUSED



thanx

Hi again Dr. Mobic ..
as U know,
Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP) or anaphylactoid purpura is a form of blood vessel inflammation or vasculitis. HSP affects the small arterial vessels (capillaries) in the skin ..
& in sever cases of HSP, as in immunocomprimized patient, the inflammation become very agrressive, & may affect the larger blood vessels leading to this picture of HSP ..

I hope that was sufficient ..
Salam ..

thanx DR. AHMED
