Abstract
Congenital myasthenic syndromes are extremely rare disorders. We report the case of an 18-year-old Croatian woman with homozygosity of the 1267delG mutation of the epsilon acetylcholine receptor subunit gene. She showed limb-girdle weakness accompanied with increased fatigability and a nearly complete external ophthalmoplegia. The therapeutic effect of pyridostigmine was relatively poor. The pathological mechanisms of acetylcholine receptor subunit mutations are discussed.
