Corticosteroid-induced myopathy is the most common drug-induced myopathy and could appear during the treatment of diseases where corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment. We present a clinical case of a patient treated with corticosteroids who presented with proximal muscle weakness, myalgias, marked elevation of muscle enzymes, and acute kidney injury due to rhabdomyolysis. The definitive diagnosis was only possible through a muscle biopsy.

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare pathology that involves most frequently the weight-bearing joints. It is due to the development of cartilaginous bodies from the synovial membrane that could migrate threw the joint. Primary and secondary forms exist. Clinical examination will be marked by swellings and loss of mobility. Cross-sectional imaging has the preference. The treatment of choice is the removal of cartilaginous loose bodies with or without a synovectomy.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by marked heterogeneity at both the phenomenological and neurobiological levels. Its diagnostic disentanglement would lead to more precise treatment and improved prognosis in people with schizophrenia. For this, a deeper understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of schizophrenia is needed.
