https://doi.org/10.61788/njn.v1i16.15Keywords:
myotonic syndrome, nondystrophic myotonias, sodium chanellopathies, chloride chanellopathiesAbstract
The article presents the clinical case of congenital myotonia which was newly diagnosed in patients with back pain. It has been discussed the genetics, pathophysiology, clinical features, differential diagnosis and management for myotonic syndrome due to different nondystrophic myotonias.
