Core Tip
Core Tip: The etiology of type II respiratory failure is complex. Congenital fiber-type disproportion is one of the rare causes, whose course is static or slowly progressive. Here, we present a rare case of congenital fiber-type disproportion in a 30-year-old woman, whose first symptom was refractory type II respiratory failure postpartum. This case reflects the importance of considering the possibility of congenital myopathy when looking for the cause of type II respiratory failure.
