HACKEMBRUCH, Heber J.  e  CHIESA, Mercedes. Sporadic Inclusion Body Myopathy: A Case Report. Rev. Urug. Med. Int. [online]. 2026, vol.11, e402.  Epub 01-Dez-2026. ISSN 2393-6797.  https://doi.org/10.26445/11.01.4.

We present the clinical case of a patient with sporadic inclusion body myositis, an acquired, progressive myopathy commonly seen in individuals over 50 years of age. This condition is often diagnosed late and currently lacks specific treatment. In this case, in addition to electromyography, we highlight the role of muscle ultrasound as a complementary tool to support diagnosis. Early recognition of the disease enables the implementation of timely rehabilitation strategies aimed at preserving functionality and improving the patient’s quality of life.
