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.
