Abstract :

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenital (AMC) is a rare congenital disorder which has multiple joint contractures involving more than one area of the body.Associated with different disorders like neurocognitive delay and malformations .Overall prevalence of 1:3000 live births.Antenatal ultrasound examination can establish the correct diagnosis. We would like to report case with the characteristic clinical & sonographic feature of fetus with AMC ( Arthroglyposis multiplex congenita ). A 35 years old G4P2L1D1A1 was referred for the first ultrasound scan at 19 weeks of gestation.Ultrasound examination of the present pregnancy at 19 weeks gestation demonstrated a single, live intrauterine fetus corresponding to 19 weeks. There was fixed flexion deformity of wrist, choroid plexus cyst, dextrocardia with associated right ventricular hypertrophy & right atrial enlargement. No normal limb movement noted..Bilateral fixed flexed deformity noted at elbow, wrist and interphalyngeal joints. Lower limb were in extended with everted foot persistently.Based on these findings arthrogryposis Multiplex congenita with cerebellar hypoplasia was made and the patient was advised for termination of pregnancy. Our aim is to present a case of rare incidence and aslo to highlight the fact that anomoly scan is an integral part of antenatal follow up around 18–22 weeks of gestation, so that if any anamoly is detected, it is possible to terminate the pregnancy within the period approved by MTP Act.
