C.) is a syndrome, clinically characterized by persistent joint contractures present at birth. The process may involve one or all extremities, but to varying degrees, so there may be hypotonia even when contractures are present. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

• Hemophilia A

  It started to develop, albeit slowly, during the first half of the 20th century, mendelian inheritance was studied in a number of important disorders such as albinism, brachydactyly, and hemophilia. [wikivisually.com]

• Gagging

  Gag reflex was absent, there was bilateral asymmetric facial nerve palsy, areflexia, hypotonia and reduced muscle bulk with preservation of the thenar and hypothenar eminences. Power in the upper limbs was restricted to movements of the digits. [indianpediatrics.net]

Treatment - Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita neurogenic type Treatment of arthrogryposis (joint contracture) involves occupational and physical therapy, well-fitted orthoses (splints and braces), and corrective surgery (if indicated). [checkorphan.org]

He recommended treatment by bracing if the curve is less than 30° at the beginning of treatment and if the patient is an ambulator. [doi.org]

In a child with normal intelligence, with appropriate treatment, independent ambulation and function can be expected. [orthoseek.com]

The prognosis is highly variable and is dependent on associated anomalies and severity. [radiopaedia.org]

Prognosis depends on the specific etiology of the contractures The incidence of abnormal joint contractures and other accompanying malformations in eight patients observed with three-dimensional ultrasonography are described [elsevier.es]

Prognosis - Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita neurogenic type Long term outlook is good for most people with AMCN, however symptoms can vary greatly. [checkorphan.org]

Our study suggests that neurogenic arthrogryposis is usually a non-progressive disorder and in the absence of concomitant brain abnormalities, allows the clinician to offer an optimistic prognosis to the family. [plu.mx]

What is the prognosis? In a child with normal intelligence, with appropriate treatment, independent ambulation and function can be expected. [orthoseek.com]

Etiology The Pena-Shokeir syndrome is not a unitary entity but is etiologically heterogeneous. Maternal myasthenia gravis has been diagnosed in some cases, and experiments in animal models show that curarization of the mother induces fetal akinesia. [orpha.net]

Abstract Arthrogryposis, or multiple congenital contractures, is the occurrence of joint contractures of diverse etiology in the prenatal period. [elsevier.es]

Summary Epidemiology The syndrome is rare: about 100 cases have been described in the literature. About 30% are stillborn, and the majority of those live-born die of the complications of pulmonary hypoplasia. [orpha.net]

Prevention Genetic advice may be essential to prevent arthrogryposis. Extrinsically derived contractures have a low recurrence risk but the recurrence risk for intrinsically derived contractures depends on the aetiology. [patient.info]
