Zebra body myopathy: a second case of ultrastructurally distinct congenital myopathy

Abstract

Biopsy of the deltoid muscle of a 4-day-old baby boy with congenital hypotonia and weakness showed zebra bodies and other myopathic changes. Our patient and an other patient reported in the literature establish zebra body myopathy as an ultrastructurally distinct benign congenital myopathy.
