Dinesh Mohan Chaudhari and

Abstract

Stiff person syndrome is a rare disorder affecting the musculoskeletal system due to an underlying autoimmune process. Our case describes a 36 year old female who presented with painful, distressing, intermittent muscular rigidity and a possible associated seizure disorder. The key highlight of our case is the misdiagnosis of her disease in the early stage and the successful management of stiff person syndrome with intrathecal baclofen.
