ABSTRACT
Diffuse muscular involvement is common in hypothyroidism and ranges from asymptomatic elevation of creatine kinase levels to severe muscle weakness and rhabdomyolysis. We report a 74 years old male that developed a progressive muscle weakness without muscle pain, during the course of an hypothyroidism secondary to a silent thyroiditis. Laboratory showed a TSH of 149 uUI/ml, a thyroxin of 1.5 ug/dl a free thyroxin of less than 0.15 ng/dl and a creatine kinase of 4345 U/l. Treatment with levothyroxine rapidly reverted the muscular alterations.
