A case of Werdnig-Hoffmann disease in a 18 month male is presented. He was found to hypotonia at 1 month of age. At the time of admission he showed generalized muscular weakness, paradoxical respiration and dyspnea.
Muscle biopsy and electromyographic findings were compatible with Werdnig-Hoffmann disease.
