title: Rare treatable limb girdle muscle disease.
abstract: We report two cases of Limb Girdle pattern of muscle weakness caused by hyperparathyroidism due to parathyroid adenoma. It can be easily missed as early symptoms are non specific but once diagnosed it is easily treatable and complete recovery occurs over a period of time.
