Abstract

We described the case of a 7 year and 10 month old child with congenital muscular hypotonia and weakness which was noticed for the first time at 1 month of age. A muscle biopsy revealed changes similar in appearance to those of progressive muscular dystrophy and alterations in serum enzyme activity were consistent with a dystrophic process. It is concluded that this patient is suffering from the rare condition of congenital muscular dystrophy.
