Abstract

Stiff Person Syndrome is a rare neurologic disorder characterized by progressive rigidity and stiffness and linked with features of an autoimmune disease. Stiffness, which primarily influences the truncal muscles, eventually leads to postural deformities. Here, I report a case of Stiff Person Syndrome in association with thyroiditis, epilepsy and vitiligo.
