Özet
In this paper, we aimed to report a case of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy with diabetes mellitus who admitted to our outpatient clinic with paresthesia in all four limbs and swelling and pain in both ankles and waist. Nerve conduction study affirmed peripheral sensory polyneuropathy and osteoporosis was detected by bone mineral density analysis. A detailed evaluation revealed bilateral sacroiliitis, HLA-B 27 positivity, and elevation of erythrocyte sedimentation rate and serum C-reactive protein levels. Thus, the diagnose of ankylosing spondylitis was confirmed. It is worth presenting because the diagnoses of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, diabetic polyneuropathy, osteoporosis, and ankylosing spondylitis were observed together in the same patient.
