Abstract
Myotonia congenita is a rare hereditary disease of skeletal muscle, characterized by generalized muscle hypertrophy, non-progressive painless myotonia, and difficulty in relaxation after contraction. A 54 year- old female patient presented with generalized muscle stiffness and weakness after thyroidectomy operation. These problems were existed but mild in childhood. Her brother, sister and three nephews had similar complaints in the family. Needle EMG revealed myotonic discharges. Some myotonia patients may have subclinical muscular symptoms. A careful preoperative history of muscular symptoms and family history are important.
