Description of a case of chronic thyrotoxic myopathy in a 52-year-old man. The patient had suffered from mild struma, marked mus-cular atrophy and severe loss of power of the shoulders, girdle and extremities during past three years.

Since the atrophic muscles presented fibril-lations, twiching and excitability, these symptoms were very similar to those of progressive neuromuscular diseases.

The basal metabolic rate was +17%, daily creatinuria amounted to 658mg and the crea-tininuria to 856 mg., and eosinophilic cells in blood increased moderately.

Muscles of the lower extremity showed fibrillation and fasciculation electromyo-graphically.

By administration of antithyroxic prepara-tes, obtained very favorable results in the treatment for the patient.
