Abstract
An adolescent presented with the clinical symptomatology of the rigid spine syndrome. Whereas an earlier biopsy from the m. [musculus] erector trunci showed myopathic features and marked endomysial fibrosis, recent findings in the m. biceps consisted of type I fiber atrophy, type I fiber predominance and hypertrophy of type II fibers. The significance of these findings and possibly a relationship to congenital fiber type disproportion were discussed.
