Stiff-man Syndrome (a.k.a. Moersch-Woltmann Syndrome) by Ron Kennedy, M.D., Santa Rosa, California Stiff-man syndrome, also called Moersch-Woltmann syndrome, is a rare, severe autoimmune neurologic disease involving the central nervous system. Autoimmune disorders are caused when the body's immune system, which is meant to defend the body against bacteria, viruses, and any other foreign product, malfunctions and produces antibodies against healthy tissue, cells and organs. The disease is characterized by a progressive rigidity or stiffness of the muscles caused by a diffuse hypertonia (excess muscular tension or pressure) involving the voluntary muscles of the neck, shoulders, trunk, arms and legs. Painful muscle spasms may also be present. Unlike many autoimmune diseases which have a higher incidence in women, stiff-man syndrome is found more frequently in men. Approximately 70 percent of those afflicted are men. Oddly enough, women can have the stiff-man syndrome. While the exact cause of stiff-man syndrome is not clear, autoimmunity is thought to be a factor. The frequent occurrence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus IDDM ), (also referred to as

(advertisement) Excerpt from Stiff Person Syndrome Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: SPS, stiff man syndrome, SMS, stiff baby syndrome, SBS, hyperekplexia, Moersch-Woltmann syndrome, stiff woman syndrome, stiff limb syndrome Please click here to view the full topic text: Stiff Person Syndrome Background: Stiff person syndrome is rather unique among neurologic diagnoses because of its lack of significant similarity to any other neurologic diseases. Although rare, once observed it is quite unforgettable. Possibly the closest related disease is tetanus because both conditions affect peripheral inhibition via central mechanisms and both conditions inhibit central gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) systems. In 1956, Moersch and Woltmann, who also coined the term stiff man syndrome, first clearly described stiff person syndrome as a neurologic clinical entity at the Mayo Clinic. The eponym for this syndrome, Moersch-Woltmann syndrome, is one of the few instances in which the eponym may be the most inclusive and at the same time most appropriately limiting name for the disease. Stiff person seems to exclude babies, and stiff man is inappropriate for children and women; perhaps stiff individual most perfectly describes the affected patient. Some confusion and controversy has also ensued as a result of cases that include other neurologic findings, such as encephalomyelitis or cerebellar deficits, in addition to the classic clinical syndrome. To further confuse matters, the most common pathologic correlate, anti–glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies, have been associated with a wide range of human disease, including diabetes mellitus and seizures.

All names and e-mail addresses are confidential, only general demographic information totals will be researched. NO NAMES WILL EVER BE REVEALED. No one will get your e-mail address or other personal information from us. All such information is understood to be totally confidential. This English version is sent to respondents in Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia, England, Ireland, and other English-speaking countries. The main purpose is to compile and categorize related information concerning Your Syndrome from sources around the world. There are actually four different surveys below: "GENERAL", "WELL-BEING", "CHILDREN", "ADULT FEMALE", and "ADULT MALE" Each respondent is asked to at least complete the first two: GENERAL and WELL-BEING In addition to those, please choose ONE additional category from the remaining three sections: CHILDREN, ADULT MALE, or ADULT FEMALE. Hopefully you will then have responded to a total of three. Like in all things in life, all people are not effected the same in all situations. Some questions will have nothing to do with you at all. Some people do not have severe symptoms, others do. Some are mildly effected, others are more seriously effected. Please give answers to all the questions in each section that you choose. If a particular question does not apply to you, then say something to indicate that fact (ie, does not apply to me, N/A, etc.) Otherwise, we don't know why you chose not to answer and we will assume that you forgot.

In some cases, muscles of the neck, trunk, and shoulders may also be involved. Stiff-person syndrome may begin as recurring (intermittent) episodes of stiffness and spasms, often precipitated by surprise or minor physical contact. The exact cause of Stiff-person syndrome is not known. Symptoms Stiff-person syndrome is characterized by progressive muscular rigidity. Aching and tightness of the voluntary muscles of the body and limbs are usually the first symptoms. Profuse sweating and a rapid heartbeat (tachycardia) may accompany the muscle spasms. Muscles of the neck, trunk, shoulders, and proximal extremities may be involved on both sides of the body. During attacks of muscular spasm, contractions such as sharp bending and twitching may occur in the muscles of the hand. Extreme bending of the sole (plantar flexion) may also occur. Affected muscles may become twisted and contracted, resulting in bone fractures in the most severe cases. Persons affected by Stiff-person syndrome may have difficulty making sudden movements and exhibit a waddling gait when walking.

Although they appear completely normal, those afflicted with Stiff Man Syndrome must avoid any situation where they might be exposed to sudden sounds or stimulation. Often, they remain isolated in their home and excluded from normal living - orphaned from society by this rare and ruthless disorder.
