ABSTRACT
Satoyoshi syndrome (OMIM 600705) is a rare disorder of unknown cause characterized by progressive painful intermittent muscle spasms, amenorrhea, alopecia, malabsorption, and skeletal abnormalities mimicking a skeletal dysplasia. In this report, we describe a Caucasian 12-year-old girl that presented with characteristic manifestations, including alopecia, muscle cramps, and short stature with onset at age 7. Prednisone 60 mg/m(2) every other day and amytriptiline 25 mg QD were administered. After 2 months, alopecia had significantly improved and muscle cramps had almost disappeared, so that glucocorticoid treatment was tapered. Follow-up, 9 months later, showed a normal looking and asymptomatic girl.
