Epidemic Myalgia Presenting as Cervical Pain : A Case Report

Copyright © 2024, Mizumoto et al..

A 53-year-old female visited our hospital because of cervical and abdominal pain preceding fever and upper respiratory symptoms. Severe tenderness was noted over the bilateral sternocleidomastoid muscles, the superior portion of the trapezius muscle, and the umbilical region of the abdomen. The patient reported exacerbation of posterior neck pain in the supine position and during the transition from sitting to the supine position. The diagnosis of epidemic myalgia was finally made. This case highlights the presence of the cervical variant of epidemic myalgia.
