Abstract
Centronuclear myopathy is a rare congenital myopathy, which is characterized by centrally located nuclei and hypotrophy or predominance of type 1 fibers in muscle pathology. It is classified into three forms according to the clinical features and inheritance pattern: the X-linked recessive, the autosomal recessive, and the autosomal dominant forms. We report a case of a patient with generalized muscle weakness, poor muscle bulk, and dysmorphic features who was diagnosed as centronuclear myopathy.KeyWords:Centronuclear myopathy, Congenital myopathy, Dysmorphic features
