Asymptomatic hyperCKemia is defined as a persistent elevation of serum CPK levels, without clinical manifestation abnormal electrodiagnostic, or histologic findings. It has a long-term benign course and in many cases it is not necessary a continuous follow-up. If hyperCKemia is an incidental finding during a routine laboratory check-up, extensive studies are not justified still more if the patients do not present alterations in the physical exam and if the electrodiagnostic studies are normal. In this paper we present two cases of asymptomatic hyperCKemia, that are the first reported in Hispano-America.
