Case Report: Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Presenting with Bilateral Vocal Cord Paralysis Caused by De-Novel Compound Heterozygous MUSK Mutation.

Background: We report the genetic etiology of a case of bilateral vocal cord paralysis in a female infant.

Case Description: The female infant developed dyspnea after birth, which improved with treatment, allowing her to be discharged from the local hospital. At 2 months of age, the child experienced a recurrence of dyspnea and was treated in a local hospital with interventions such as tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.
