Extractions: Authors Amyoplasia congenita is a rare congenital disorder. Here such a case along with right sided inguinal hernia in 3-day-old male baby is presented with a brief review of literature. A 3-day-old male baby was presented with multiple bony deformities with right sided inguinoscrotal swelling since birth. It was diagnosed as a case of amyoplasia congenita along with a right sided inguinal hernia. The baby was managed with physiotherapy and right sided herniorrhaphy was done at 2 months and 2 days of age. Amyoplasia congenita is a rare congenital disorder. It is a major form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC)1,2. The entity refers to multiple contractures of joints which are fixed in flexion or less commonly in extension, accompanied by diminution and wasting of skeletal muscles3. Many children of this disorder survive but some die during infancy. One such case with multiple deformities is presented. Home

A 3-day-old male baby, born from non-consanguineous marriage, presented with multiple bony deformities with right sided inguinoscrotal swelling since birth. The neonate was a product of full term vaginal home delivery, conducted by a trained dai and he had given cry immediately after birth. Evaluation of Apgar score was not feasible.

Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita Patients with amyoplasia congenita do not have evidence of brain, cardiac, or genitourinary tract abnormality. The cause of amyoplasia congenita is unknown. http://pediatricneuro.com/alfonso/pg163.htm
Extractions: Patients with amyoplasia congenita do not have evidence of brain, cardiac, or genitourinary tract abnormality. Bowel atresia and gastroschisis have been reported. The cause of amyoplasia congenita is unknown. Fetal spinal cord disruption due to systemic hypotension producing anterior horn cell ischemia is the most likely explanation. Amyoplasia congenita is a sporadic condition. This is an important condition to recognize since the chances of recurrence are low and the prognosis is good. Muscle biopsies may show evidence of myopathy and neuropathy. Amyoplasia congenita is the final diagnosis in about one-third of neonates with arthrogryposis. Spinal Cord Abnormalities Traumatic spinal cord injury usually occurs during delivery. It should be suspected if no cause for arthrogryposis is found and there are no signs of brain or brainstem involvement. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine is indicated. Arthrogryposis of the lower extremities has been reported with lumbosacral meningocele (Figure 163.1) and with sacral agenesis. A B Figure 163.1.

Extractions: MainMenu Back Next Index A pivotal step in the management of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is to determine its cause. The cause of the arthrogryposis multiplex congenita determines the prognosis and recurrence rate of the disease. There are many causes of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita in neonates. Smiths book on recognizable patterns of human malformation lists arthrogryposis multiplex congenita as a feature of over 100 syndromes. The differential diagnosis among these syndromes is made by analyzing the distribution of the arthrogryposis, the presence of facial dysmorphism, and other associated findings. Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita may involve the distal or the proximal joints. Involvement of the distal joints is more frequent than involvement of the proximal joints. Neonates with distal arthrogryposis often have a very typical hand position (Figure 152.1). This typical hand position is frequently present in trisomy 13 and 18 syndromes, Pena-Shokeir I and II syndromes, and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Proximal arthrogryposis usually involves the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Proximal arthrogryposis occurs in neonates with amyoplasia congenita.

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: In typical Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC), the range of motion of the joints of all limbs is limited or fixed. The shoulders are bent inward and internally rotated, the elbows are extended, and the wrists and fingers are bent. The hips may be dislocated and are usually slightly bent, the knees are extended, and the heel is bent inward from the midline of the leg while the foot is bent inward at the ankle (typical clubfoot).
