Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita is a syndrome or disorder that presents with multiple congenital joint contractures at birth. It is X-linked recessive disorder, non-progressive and is of variable severity. Here is a case report with three consecutive pregnancies having fetus affected with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) diagnosed antenatally. Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita affects 1 in 3000 live births. During embryogenesis, joint development is normal. Motion is essential for the normal development of joints and surrounding structures. Fetal akinesia causes extra connective tissue to develop around the joint. This results in fixation of the joint and a further increase in the contracture. Earlier in pregnancy the contractures form, worse is the prognosis.

Cervical Spinal Stenosis

AbstractArthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a rare, nonprogressive congenital disorder that describes a constellation of conditions characterized by multiple joint contractures. Spinal pathology and deformity are common; however, the majority of the literature on arthrogryposis is focused on pediatric management. There exist very few reports on long-term outcomes and management of adults with arthrogryposis. We present a case of cervical spinal stenosis in an adult female with arthrogryposis that underwent posterior cervical decompression and fusion. A review of spine-related sequelae seen in adults with arthrogryposis and considerations for spinal surgery for these patients is discussed.

Genetic And Environmental Factors

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is constellation of contractions of multiple joints present at birth with fat or fibrous tissue partially or totally replacing muscles. Aetiological cause is from the interplay of genetic and environmental factors. It affects approximately 1 in 2-3000 live births. All four extremities are involved in50-60% of cases; lower limbs, in 30-40%, and upper limbs, in 10-15% of cases. Our patient is case of Amyoplasia with duodenal atresia. Had surgery and was seen in the clinic on follow up to 3 months. He has remain stable on physiotherapy.

The Gingival recession is considered a multi-factorial. The etiology may be an anatomically vulnerable area, faulty tooth brushing, high frenum attachment. In cases where there is progressive recession, aesthetics concern or increasing dentinal hypersensitivity, we can do recession coverage. Depending upon the presence or absence of adequate keratinized tissue we can choose the technique. In case of adequate width of keratinized tissue, usually we can do displaced flap and in case where there is inadequate width, we can do gingival grafting.
