Abstract
Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder
characterised by extreme pleiotropism and variability in disease expression. A
congenital form is rare and is observed in infants born to symptomatic mothers with
multisystem involvement. We report a case of a neonate with congenital myotonic
dystrophy born to an asymptomatic mother.
