ABSTRACT

Congenital multiple arthrogryposis is a low-frequency, sporadic, non-progressive disease that appears in the prenatal period, and is characterized by several contractures present at birth in the four limbs. The estimated incidence is 1/10 000 born alive. The diagnosis is possible performing ultrasounds on a fetus that has vicious positions and does not move. The prevalence of congenital multiple arthrogryposis is variable, being classical multiple arthrogryposis (amyoplasia) the most frequent one, present in between 40 and 50 % of the affected persons. Ultrasonographic search in the third semester of pregnancy is essential for diagnostic purposes to provide genetic counseling and to prepare a ream for birth. It is important to have diagnostic suspicion to suggest the high cesarean way for fetal well-being. A multidisciplinary group should carry out the management and treatment of these patients. The case of a newborn is presented, who was born at 39 weeks by prolonged eutocic delivery due to presenting face, with acute fetal suffering, meconium ++++, apgar 5-7, weighing 3 300 g, that presented luxation and general contracture of shoulders, elbows, and also hips, knees and ankles, with fingers and toes in flexion.
