Acetazolamide-responsive myotonia with a novel Ile239Thr mutation in

Sodium channel myotonia (SCM) belongs to the group of sodium channelopathies with mutations involving The child presented with generalized muscle hypertrophy and stiffness involving arms, thighs, calves, chest, and back muscles with unusually prominent trapezius muscle. The parents described the warm-up phenomenon as an improvement in stiffness as the day passes and with repetitive action. Percussion myotonia was illustrated in the thenar eminence and trapezius muscle. Characteristic 'dive-bomber' sound was present in electromyography, and whole-exome sequencing revealed a novel Ile239Thr mutation in the This case presents a pure myotonic phenotype without episodes of weakness or paralysis. Generalized myotonia with muscle hypertrophy and demonstrating warm-up phenomenon resembles myotonia congenita (a chloride channelopathy). However, genetic analysis revealed a novel Ile239Thr mutation involving This case limelight sodium channel myotonia with a novel Ile239Thr mutation in
