Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies [PDF]
Neurologic Clinics, 2014 The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) consist of rare heterogeneous autoimmune disorders that present with marked proximal and symmetric muscle weakness, except for distal and asymmetric weakness in inclusion body myositis. Despite many similarities, the IIM are fairly heterogeneous from the histopathologic and pathogenetic standpoints, and also
