Myopathic Disorder in an 8-Year-Old Male with Familial Predisposition: A Case Report

Abstract

Myopathic disorders in children are a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular conditions characterized by progressive muscle weakness, fatigue, and impaired motor function. Early recognition is crucial for diagnosis and management. We report the case of an 8-year-old boy from Charsadda presenting with progressive weakness in the muscles of the hands and legs, accompanied by fatigue, cramps, spasms, and movement difficulties. The patient has a positive family history, including an affected brother and consanguineous marriages within the family. The patient was evaluated at Lady Reading Hospital (LRH), highlighting the importance of clinical recognition, family screening, and early supportive care in pediatric myopathies.
