Statin-associated necrotizing autoimmune myositis (NAM) is an autoimmune condition characterized by severe acute-onset proximal muscle weakness, a very high creatinine kinase (CK) level, and prominent myofiber necrosis and minimal lymphocytic infiltration on muscle biopsy.
Unlike self-limited statin myopathy, this condition usually requires aggressive immunomodulation therapy to assist recovery and prevent future disability.
In this case report, we present a patient who developed progressive muscle weakness after taking atorvastatin for one year.
At initial presentation, her CK level was 28,000 U/L.
She was diagnosed with statin-associated NAM and started on high-dose intravenous solumedrol, mycophenolate, and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy.
However, she subsequently developed acute bilateral vision loss and right side hemineglect; she was diagnosed with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), thought to be a possible delayed adverse reaction to IVIG.
IVIG was discontinued, and the patient was treated with supportive therapy.
At six-month follow-up, she had significant improvement in muscle strength and vision.
