Lars Werhagen and Kristian

Abstract

The diagnosis of post-polio syndrome (PPS) might be difficult as the diagnosis PPS mostly depends on the patient’s subjective description of the symptoms. Furthermore, the PPS patients have reached an age when concomitant diseases are common. However, an adequate diagnosis is important for treatment and prognosis. The aim of this case report is to describe the complexity of the PPS diagnosis.
