Abstract
Role of riboflavin, coenzyme Q10 and carnitine in treating metabolic myopathies has been well described. However, literature is scarce on the therapeutic role of steroids. We report a 10 year old boy presenting with progressive proximal and axial myopathy, who responded to steroids within a week. His muscle biopsy later suggested a lipid storage myopathy. Role of steroids in treatment of certain forms of metabolic myopathies needs to be researched.
