title: Tracking down muscle weakness.
abstract: Family physicians have the unique opportunity to follow patients over long periods of time, which allows them to observe all manifestations of a disease process when one is present. The patient in this case presented initially with neurological symptoms resulting in muscle weakness. Surgery several years later produced clinical and laboratory data which showed evidence of a previously unsuspected underlying disease process.
