ABSTRACT

Introduction: The arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, is a non-progressive clinical syndrome characterized by the presence of several joints stiffness and tightness, they appear in the prenatal period, and are present at birth. The severity of the disease is variable and there are numerous possible underlying causes. Objective: Contribute to the literature with an arthrogryposis multiplex congenital case and review the etiology and treatment of this congenital disease. Case presentation: This is a 38 weeks of gestation newborn, female, who presented generalized contracture of elbows, hips and knees, total bilateral camptodactyly (bending fingers of both hands) , no apparent change in shoulders or meniscus, stable hips, severe limitation to abduction, severe valgus feet, talo not reduced and plants in rocking chair. Conclusion: The prevalence of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, is variable within the heterogeneous group of arthrogryposis, being the most frequent classical arthrogryposis multiplex, which represents more than 40-50% of affected children. The specific etiologic search should be systematic: for diagnostic purposes to try to establish a genetic counseling and a target of vital and functional prognosis, management and treatment must be carried out by a multidisciplinary team.
