ABSTRACT
Steroid mvopathy is a skeletal muscle disease that develops in condition both endogenous and exogenous glucocorticoid excess and is characterized by muscle weakness. Myalgia, and wasting. The onset is usually insidious and the distribution of weakness is primarily proximal uith the legs more severely involved than the arms; cranial-nerve-in nervated muscles and sphin ers are usually spared.
