Background Some myopathies can lead to dropped head or bent spine syndrome (DH/BS). The significance of this symptom has not been studied in inflammatory myopathies (IM). Objectives To assess the significance of DH/BS in patients with IM. Methods Practitioners from five IM networks were invited to report patients with IM suffering from DH/BS (without other known cause than IM). IM patients without DH/BS, randomly selected in each participating centre, were included as controls at a ratio of 2 to 1. Results 49 DH/BS-IM patients (DH: 57.1%, BS: 42.9%) were compared with 98 control-IM patients. DH/BS-IM patients were older (65 years vs 53 years, p<0.0001) and the diagnosis of IM was delayed (6 months vs 3 months, p=0.009). Weakness prevailing in the upper limbs (42.9% vs 15.3%), dysphagia (57.1% vs 25.5%), muscle atrophy (65.3% vs 34.7%), weight loss (61.2% vs 23.5%) and loss of the ability to walk (24.5% vs 5.1%) were hallmarks of DH/BS-IM (p≤0.0005), for which the patients more frequently received intravenous immunoglobulins (65.3% vs 34.7%, p=0.0004). Moreover, DH/BS-IM patients frequently featured signs and/or complications of systemic sclerosis (SSc), fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology criteria for this disease in 40.8% of the cases (vs 5.1%, p<0.0001). Distribution of the myopathy, its severity and its association with SSc were independently associated with DH/BS (p<0.05). Mortality was higher in the DH/BS-IM patients and loss of walking ability was independently associated with survival (p<0.05). Conclusion In IM patients, DH/BS is a marker of severity and is associated with SSc (scleromyositis).

This study aims at reporting 11 cases of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurring in patients on immunotherapy. The increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in oncodermatology is associated with the appearance of immunologic adverse effects linked to nonspecific stimulation of the immune system. CTS has not been reported in this context. A retrospective multicenter review was performed on CTSs occurring on immunotherapy and confirmed with electroneuromyography. Data were collated from patients’ files. Most of the time, CTS was severe, bilateral, with a motor deficit and confirmed axonal damage on electroneuromyography. In 4 cases, it was associated with rheumatological adverse effects (arthralgia/inflammatory synovitis). The most effective treatment appeared to be general corticosteroid therapy, even at low doses (<15 mg/d), or surgery. An imputability of the CTS of these patients to immunotherapy was considered due to the unusual intensity of the symptoms and the absence of other predisposing factors (diabetes and dysthyroidism well-controlled). Its combination with other immunologic adverse effects and the efficacy of general corticosteroid therapy suggests an immunologic origin. CTS is probably an immunologic adverse effect of immunotherapy. It is often severe or misleading in presentation and affects quality of life. The recognition of this adverse effect should make it possible to provide patients with appropriate care.
