    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Centronuclear myopathy is a group of inherited muscle diseases.
    • This condition presents with specific histological findings in muscle tissue.
    • Previous cases have shown varied inheritance patterns and clinical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a sporadic occurrence of centronuclear myopathy in two African female children.
    • To detail the clinical, histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural findings.
    • To review existing literature on 58 previously reported cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Case reporting of two pediatric patients.
    • Histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural examination of muscle biopsies.
    • Literature review of 58 previously documented cases.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed clinical and pathological findings in two African female children with centronuclear myopathy.
    • Distinctive histological features were observed.
    • Review confirmed variability in clinical presentation and inheritance modes.

    Conclusions:

    • Centronuclear myopathy can occur sporadically in diverse populations.
    • Despite characteristic histology, clinical presentation is variable.
    • The pathogenesis and inheritance of centronuclear myopathy require further investigation.
