  ABSTRACT: Congenital myopathies are a group of minimally progressive or non-progressive neuromuscular conditions which is present from birth. A classical type of congenital myopathy is called central core disease. This condition is often confused with muscular dystrophy. Central core disease can be associated with comorbidities which affect pregnancy and its management. In this case series, we describe two cases, who are siblings affected by the same condition but at varied levels and their management during pregnancy. We also would like to illustrate a management plan for congenital myopathy during pregnancy, for a good maternal and fetal outcome.
