This report describes a patient with a history of poliomyelitis who developed
new, progressive symptoms of muscle fatigue and weakness, suggestive of
postpoliomyelitis syndrome. However, comprehensive investigations led to the
diagnosis of statin-induced myopathy as the cause of the patient's symptoms. This
case highlights the possibility of statin-induced myopathy in patients with a
history of poliomyelitis and the differential diagnosis between postpoliomyelitis
syndrome and statin-induced myopathy in these patients. The possibility of
statin-induced myopathy should be considered when patients with previous
poliomyelitis who take statin medication develop symptoms suggestive of
postpoliomyelitis syndrome.
