This study reports a rare case of congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy in an infant presenting with delayed motor milestones and generalized weakness. Diagnosis was confirmed via nerve biopsy, highlighting a rare inherited condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy is a rare inherited disorder affecting motor and sensory nerves.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for managing pediatric neuromuscular conditions.

Observation:

  • An 11-month-old infant presented with delayed motor milestones, distal and intercostal muscle weakness, hypotonia, and areflexia.
  • Nerve conduction studies were unobtainable in all limbs, indicating severe nerve dysfunction.

Findings:

  • Sural nerve biopsy confirmed congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy, a rare form of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy.
  • The findings underscore the challenges in diagnosing severe congenital neuropathies.

Implications:
