The most common type of nemaline rod myopathy presents in the infantile stage with 42% of patients presenting in the neonatal period. [6] While there has been an association with polyhydramnios, decreased fetal movements, and an abnormal fetal presentation [emedicine.medscape.com]

Other presentations Autosomal recessive (and autosomal dominant) inheritance have been described with several different presentations. [slideshare.net]

An oculomotor nerve palsy with limited abduction and some degree of facial palsy are usually present. The Moebius sequence is present in many patients. Epicanthal folds, downslanting lid fissures, and ptosis are frequently seen. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

• Back Pain

  Neck and back pain due to paraspinous muscle weakness, with kyphosis and exaggerated lumbar lordosis, is also common. [sites.google.com]

• Reduced Fetal Movement

  The antenatal form with arthrogryposis is distinguished by the presence of contractures at birth due to reduced fetal movement as well as various physical anomalies. The severity of symptoms is variable. [checkorphan.org]

  Two patients from 1 family exhibited prenatal symptoms with reduced fetal movements, polyhydramnios, and hydrops. Most showed delayed motor development and difficulty running in childhood; some patients also reported limited walking distances. [bio2rdf.org]

  Clinical description Presentation of MmD is usually in infancy or childhood with hypotonia or proximal weakness; prenatal onset with reduced fetal movements and polyhydramnios has also been recognized [7,8]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  This form is also associated with a range of physical features including long head, low set ears, and a short neck. The respiratory muscles can be moderately to severely affected, thus problems with breathing are common. [musculardystrophyuk.org]

  Other features included dolichocephaly, prominent nasal root, oblique palpebral fissures, high-arched palate, low-set ears, and short neck with mild pterygium colli. [bio2rdf.org]

Is there a treatment? Currently there is no treatment for minicore myopathy although management of the condition is very important. [musculardystrophyuk.org]

[ edit ] The treatment of arthrogryposis includes occupational therapy, physical therapy, splinting and surgery. [3] The primary long-term goals of these treatments are increasing joint mobility, muscle strength and the development of adaptive use patterns [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis [ edit ] People with AMC look their worst at birth. AMC is considered non-progressive, so with proper medical treatment, things can improve. The joint contractures that are present will not get worse than they are at the time of birth. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prognosis Respiratory impairment is the main prognostic factor in SEPN1-related MmD and has to be managed pro-actively; patients can usually be maintained on nocturnal non-invasive ventilation for many years without major functional deterioration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
