    Undiagnosed hyperthyroidism can cause progressive muscle weakness in adults. Restoring thyroid hormone balance (euthyroidism) can fully resolve this acquired myopathy, highlighting the importance of considering hyperthyroidal myopathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Neuromuscular Disorders

    Background:

    • Acquired myopathies can present with progressive muscle weakness.
    • Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disorder that can affect muscle function.

    Observation:

    • A 57-year-old woman presented with a two-month history of increasing proximal lower limb muscle weakness.
    • This myopathic presentation was initially undiagnosed.

    Findings:

    • The patient's muscle weakness was definitively diagnosed as hyperthyroidal myopathy.
    • Restoration of normal thyroid hormone levels (euthyroidism) led to complete resolution of the muscle weakness.

    Implications:

    • Hyperthyroidal myopathy, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of adult-onset acquired myopathies.
