General:
Part of Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita
Multiple joint contractures
Two forms:
Neuropathic: reduced number of anterior horn cells; demyelinated motor roots; fewer axons in peripheral nerve roots.
Myopathic: contractors due to lack of intrauterine movement.
Airway:
Micrognathia
Cleft palate
Respiratory:
Hypoplastic lungs
Diaphragmatic hernia
Hydrothorax
Gastrointestinal:
Gastroschisis
Pyloric stenosis
Musculoskeletal:
Scoliosis
Contractures
Joint deformities
Considerations:
Difficult airway
Positioning nightmare
Difficult intravenous access possible
No relationship between arthrogryposis syndromes and MH
