Abstract
We report a man who developed selenium-deficient myopathy during long-term parenteral nutrition. Muscle biopsy showed marked mitochondrial depletion in the deep sarcoplasm and enlarged mitochondria at the periphery mainly in type 2 fibers. Muscle weakness improved gradually after the second course of selenium supplementation. The peculiar mitochondrial abnormalities in muscle fibers appear to play a key role in the pathogenesis of selenium-deficient myopathy.Entities:
