Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Geriatrics

Background:

  • Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is a prevalent inflammatory condition primarily affecting individuals over 50.
  • PMR typically manifests with characteristic symptoms such as proximal muscle pain and stiffness, fatigue, and constitutional symptoms.

Observation:

  • This case report focuses on an elderly patient diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica.
  • The patient presented with a unique and previously undocumented symptom: locked jaw (masticatory muscle Испании).

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica was confirmed based on clinical presentation and relevant diagnostic criteria.
  • The occurrence of locked jaw in conjunction with polymyalgia rheumatica represents a novel clinical observation.

Implications:

  • This finding expands the spectrum of recognized clinical manifestations of polymyalgia rheumatica.
  • Awareness of this association may aid clinicians in earlier diagnosis and management of atypical PMR cases.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the potential pathophysiological link between PMR and masticatory muscle Испании.
