Multiple Congenital Anomaly with Dysmorphism and Arthrogryposis: Case report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), or simply arthrogryposis, describes congenital joint contractures in two or more areas of the body found throughout the body at birth. The name, derived from the Greek, means “curved or hooked joints”. This disorder should be considered a symptom complex or a descriptive term rather than a disease and an underlying cause should be sought when possible. Arthrogryposis usually present with well-recognized musculoskeletal abnormalities. We report a case of arthrogryposis with various deformities other than musculoskeletal abnormalities.
