Abstract The clinical and pathologic findings in two male siblings with congenital myopathy are presented. The pathologic changes in both cases were identical to those seen in progressive muscular dystrophy.[pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Prognosis Ventilator dependence in the neonatal period is associated with a poor prognosis. Prognosis also depends on natural history and the patient’s response to therapy.[boneandspine.com]
Prognosis depends on the specific etiology of the contractures The incidence of abnormal joint contractures and other accompanying malformations in eight patients observed with three-dimensional ultrasonography are described[elsevier.es]
PrognosisPrognosis depends on the underlying cause but most have a normal lifespan. If, however, there is a central nervous system problem in addition, about half of patients die in the first year.[patient.info]
Prognosis The prognosis for spinal muscular atrophy is variable. Life expectancy is dependent on the degree of respiratory impairment present.[healthofchildren.com]
