Nemaline myopathy in the neonate

Medical College of Wisconsin, and the Departments of Pediatrics (Drs. Norton and Harh) and Neurology (Drs. Ellison and Sulaiman), Milwaukee, WI.

Nemaline myopathy, one of the more benign myopathies in older children and adults, may be associated with early death in the neonate and young infant even when there is no obvious clinical progression. Early diagnosis can be made by muscle biopsy in the neonate for aid in the decision-making, discussion with families, and genetic counseling.
