The contractures limit the range of movement of the joints. The joints themselves may be fixed in a flexed or extended position. The number of joints affected can range from two or three to almost total involvement, including spine and jaw, resulting in a wide range of disability. AMC is a non-progressive condition with a normal life-span. However, joint contractures are sometimes linked to rare syndromes with limited life expectancy. Although AMC is associated with fetal immobility, the exact causes are not known. Early and specific diagnosis for each case is essential so that appropriate therapy can begin as soon as possible. Such treatment includes physiotherapy (including passive stretching) splinting and surgery. Inheritance patterns These are variable. In Amyoplasia, the most common form of AMC, there is no significant inheritance risk. Distal arthrogryposis, which primarily affects the hands and feet, is autosomal dominant. However, as there are over one hundred types of AMC, precise diagnosis of individual cases is necessary to establish the risk of possible recurrence.

Extractions: ABBREVIATIONS. GBP, gabapentin; GABA, gamma-aminobutyric acid; DOL, day of life. Gabapentin (GBP) is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analog approved for the treatment of partial seizures with and without generalization in patients 12 years of age and older. The precise mechanism of action for GBP in the central nervous system is not known. Although it was originally designed to mimic the effects of GABA, it has been found to be inactive at GABA binding sites.[1] Recently, GBP has been shown to be effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain in adults[2] and children.[3] We report the case of a neonate with amyoplasia congenita resulting in severe contractures and dislocated joints who was successfully and safely treated with GBP to relieve pain. CASE REPORT Symptomatic assessment on DOL 4 illustrated apparent failure of acetaminophen, which prompted its discontinuation and the initiation of ibuprofen therapy (ibuprofen oral suspension) at a dose of 10 mg/kg every 6 hours. At this same time, an electromyeolgram was performed. It revealed that the neurologic problems were axonal in nature and represented a static process. The Genetics Department was consulted and initial results indicated a pericentric inversion of chromosome 8. Additionally, consultation from the Orthopaedic Surgery Service was obtained, which recommended mobilization of muscle tissue as opposed to surgical intervention or the use of braces/splints. During this time, the diagnosis was refined to amyoplasia congenita, a sporadic abnormality most likely caused by hypotension in the developing fetal spinal cord at a time when anterior horn cells are susceptible to insults.[4]
