[PMID: 32429959 PMCID: PMC7236136 DOI: 10.1186/s13023-020-01395-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 10/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Satoyoshi syndrome (SS) [OMIM 600705; ORFHA 3130] is a multisystemic disease with a probable autoimmune basis, whose main symptoms are muscle spasms, alopecia, diarrhea and skeletal alterations. Chronic diarrhea may be severe and result in malnutrition, anemia, growth retardation, cachexia, disability and even death. However, to date, no review of the digestive symptoms has been carried out. METHODS A search was performed in MEDLINE, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Cases of SS, without language or date restrictions, were recorded. Sixty-seven cases of SS were found up until December 2019. Thirty-nine cases described gastrointestinal manifestations. RESULTS Chronic diarrhea was the main digestive symptom (92.3%). Other symptoms such as abdominal pain (15.4%), nausea (7.7%) and vomiting (7.7%), were less frequent. The D-xylose test was positive in 10 out of 12 patients, and 9 out of 13 cases showed a flattened oral glucose tolerance test suggesting carbohydrate malabsorption. Antinuclear antibodies were detected in 8 out of 16 cases. Antibodies to stomach or duodenum tissue lysates were also detected by Western blot. Histological data revealed predominantly lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate that can affect any section of the digestive tract. In 6 out of 10 patients, diarrhea improved with a treatment regimen that included corticosteroids. Other treatments, such as methotrexate, carbohydrate restricted diets or otilonium bromide, improved digestive symptoms in isolated patients. Improvement of symptoms up to three years of follow-up has been described. None of the three patients who died had received corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. CONCLUSION Chronic diarrhea with malabsorption is one of the most disabling symptoms in SS. The early recognition of this disease is essential for immunosuppressive treatment and a better outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Satoyoshi syndrome is a multisystemic rare disease of unknown etiology, although an autoimmune basis is presumed. Its main symptoms are: painful muscle spasms, diarrhea, alopecia and skeletal abnormalities. Clinical course without treatment may result in serious disability or death. A review of treatment and its response is still pending. RESULTS Sixty-four cases of Satoyoshi syndrome were published between 1967 and 2018. 47 cases described the treatment administered. Drugs used can be divided into two main groups of treatment: muscle relaxants/anticonvulsants, and corticosteroids/immunosuppressants. Dantrolene improved muscle symptoms in 13 out of 15 cases, but not any other symptoms of the disease. Other muscle relaxants or anticonvulsant drugs showed little or no effect. 28 out of 30 cases responded to a regimen that included costicosteroids. Other immunosuppressive drugs including cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, methotrexate, tacrolimus and cyclophosphamide were used to decrease corticosteroid dose or improve efficacy. Immunoglobulin therapy was used in nine patients and four of them obtained a favorable response. CONCLUSION Corticosteroids was the most widely treatment employed with the best results in Satoyoshi syndrome. Further studies are needed to determine optimal dose and duration of corticosteroids as well as the role of other immunosuppressants and immunoglobulin therapy. Genetic or autoimmune markers will be useful to guide future therapies.

Abstract
We herein report the case of a patient with adult-onset Satoyoshi syndrome. Alopecia was detected on the patient's head, left leg and abdomen, with pigmentation on the left thigh and abdomen. Painful muscle spasms were also noted in the abdomen and left upper and lower extremities, and a sensory disturbance was present in the left thigh. A skin biopsy of this field showed lymphocyte infiltration, and the patient was found to be positive for antinuclear antibodies and rheumatoid factor. These clinical findings were atypical, as they were lateralized. This case is the first report of Satoyoshi syndrome associated with a sensory disturbance. The patient's histological findings and positivity for autoantibodies indicated the presence of immunological abnormalities in this case of Satoyoshi syndrome.

Abstract
Satoyoshi syndrome (SS) (OMIM 600705) is a rare multisystemic disorder of unknown etiology characterized by progressive painful intermittent muscle spasm, alopecia universalis, diarrhea, short stature, amenorrhea, and secondary skeletal abnormalities mimicking a metaphyseal chondrodysplasia. To date all reported cases have been sporadic. We describe a 26-year-old Mexican woman, a product of consanguineous parents with clinical characteristics of SS. Our patient, also showed skeletal anomalies not previously reported that seems to be a coincidental finding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The patient was misdiagnosed as having Sjögren's syndrome (on the basis of a lower-limb rash and dry eyes and mouth) in 1999, and then as having systemic lupus erythematosus (on the basis of hair loss and a high antinuclear antibody titer) in 2005. Total alopecia, muscular spasms and diarrhea developed over the following 2 years, and the patient experienced gastric ulceration in 2006. A rheumatologic opinion was sought in 2007. INVESTIGATIONS Physical examination, CBC, glucose tolerance test, iron studies, HLA typing, immunological investigations and complete gastrointestinal investigations, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy and small bowel biopsy. DIAGNOSIS Satoyoshi syndrome with autoimmune features (high levels of antinuclear antibody and antibodies to thyroid tissue) and malabsorption due to eosinophilic enteritis. This patient is only the fifth adult in the world reported to have Satoyoshi syndrome, and the first-reported adult case from South Africa. MANAGEMENT The patient had only a transitory response to glucocorticoid treatment. Complete amelioration of symptoms resulted on two occasions when treated with intravenous immunoglobulin; however, the remissions only lasted for 6-8 weeks. More-intensive immunosuppression with azathioprine is currently being attempted.

Abstract
Satoyoshi syndrome is a rare multisystemic disorder with assumed autoimmune pathogenesis. Typical clinical features are progressive painful muscle spasms, alopecia, diarrhoea, and skeletal and endocrine abnormalities often resulting in early invalidism and death. Patients have been treated with immunoglobulins and glucocorticoids with varying outcome. We report on a 19-year-old German adolescent who has been successfully treated with a new combination of carbamazepine to reduce the severity and frequency of painful nocturnal muscle spasms, prednisolone, methotrexate and sex-steroids. Prednisolone treatment alone was not successful. After introduction of low-dose of methotrexate to the therapy the patient recovered from muscle spasms, alopecia and diarrhoea. Initiation of sex-steroid treatment resulted in pubertal development, regular menstrual cycles and improved quality of life.

Abstract
A 14-year-old boy with Satoyoshi syndrome is reported. Less than 50 patients with Satoyoshi syndrome have been reported in the world literature. This patient had alopecia, muscle spasms, and skeletal abnormalities, which are three of the most common clinical features of Satoyoshi syndrome. Despite extensive laboratory evaluation, an alternate explanation was not documented for the cluster of clinical findings in this patient. Immune dysregulation is believed to be an underlying mechanism for the development of Satoyoshi syndrome. In contrast to some reports, this patient failed to respond to intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. However, he responded dramatically to steroids.

Abstract
Satoyoshi syndrome (OMIM 600705) is a rare disorder of unknown cause characterized by progressive painful intermittent muscle spasms, amenorrhea, alopecia, malabsorption, and skeletal abnormalities mimicking a skeletal dysplasia. In this report, we describe a Caucasian 12-year-old girl that presented with characteristic manifestations, including alopecia, muscle cramps, and short stature with onset at age 7. Prednisone 60 mg/m(2) every other day and amytriptiline 25 mg QD were administered. After 2 months, alopecia had significantly improved and muscle cramps had almost disappeared, so that glucocorticoid treatment was tapered. Follow-up, 9 months later, showed a normal looking and asymptomatic girl.

Abstract
Satoyoshi syndrome is a rare, slowly progressive disorder of unknown etiology with a poor long-term prognosis. The syndrome consists of the following clinical features: (1) painful, intermittent muscle spasms; (2) alopecia; (3) diarrhea; and (4) skeletal abnormalities in cases of juvenile onset. The age of onset is typically less than 20 years of age, although three adult onset cases had been reported. There had been no case report of Satoyoshi syndrome with strict unilateral presentation. We present a 25-year-old man with progressive unilateral hair loss and muscle spasms. Although previous literature had postulated malabsorption and autoimmune mechanism as pathogenic for Satoyoshi syndrome, the presence of a strictly unilateral presentation argues against those hypotheses. However, these hypotheses should still be considered, as our patient did not fit a typical Satoyoshi syndrome. Therefore, more research is needed to understand the pathophysiology and develop an effective treatment to prevent the progression of the disease.

Abstract
Satoyoshi syndrome is a very rare disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by progressive, intermittent, painful muscle spasms, alopecia universalis, diarrhea or unusual malabsorption, various endocrine disorders, and secondary skeletal abnormalities. This report describes a 9-year-old Thai girl who developed alopecia universalis when she was 6 years old. At age 7 years, she began to have recurrent, painful muscle spasms. The spasms progressed in time, producing recurrent patella dislocation. The laboratory investigations and radiologic study were compatible with Satoyoshi syndrome. She was treated with oral corticosteroid therapy, with marked improvement of her muscle spasms and alopecia. She underwent corrective surgery for deformities of both knees with a normal healing process.

Abstract
Bruxism, the rhythmic grinding of teeth--usually during sleep--is not an infrequent complication of traumatic brain injury. Its prevalence in the general population is 21%, but its incidence after brain injury is unknown. Untreated, bruxism causes masseter hypertrophy, headache, temporomandibular joint destruction, and total dental wear. We report a case of complete resolution of postanoxic bruxism after treatment with botulinum toxin-A (BTX-A). The patient was a 28-year-old man with no history of bruxism who sustained an anoxic brain injury secondary to cardiac arrest of unknown etiology. On admission to our rehabilitation unit 2 months after the injury, the patient presented with severe bruxism and heavy dental wear. The patient was injected with a total of 200 units of BTX-A to each masseter and temporalis. There was total resolution of bruxism 2 days after injection, with no complications. On follow-up 3 months after injection, the patient remained free of bruxism. We propose that botulinum toxin be considered as a treatment for bruxism secondary to anoxic brain injury. Further studies regarding muscle selection and medication dosage are warranted to elucidate the toxin's efficacy in this condition.

Abstract
Satoyoshi syndrome is a very rare disease of unknown etiology, characterized by intermittent painful muscle spasms, alopecia, multiple epiphyseal changes, diarrhea and endocrine disorders. We administered intravenous gammaglobulin to a 7-year-old girl with Satoyoshi syndrome. Frequency of muscle spasms and the titers of antinuclear antibody and anti-DNA antibody decreased. This is the first report of gammaglobulin therapy of Satoyoshi syndrome. We suggest that this illness could be related to an autoimmune mechanism.
