Non-dystrophic myotonias are caused by mutations of either the skeletal muscle chloride (CLCN1) or sodium channel (SCN4A) gene. They exhibit several distinct phenotypes, including myotonia congenita, paramyotonia congenita and sodium channel myotonia, and a genotype-phenotype correlation has been established. However, there are atypical cases that do not fit with the standard classification. We report a case of...
