Abstract: A newborn girl with amyoplasia congenita and non-duodenal intestinal atresia is reported. Amyoplasia is a rare sporadic condition seen more commonly in identical twins, who are discordantly affected. It is characterised by absence of limb muscles that are replaced by fibrous and fatty tissue. Non-duodenal intestinal atresias have been shown to be caused by vascular interruption. The occurrence of both these conditions together suggests a common etiology.

Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita Patients with amyoplasia congenita do not have evidence of brain, cardiac, amyoplasia congenita is the final diagnosis in about onethird of neonates http://pediatricneuro.com/alfonso/pg163.htm
Extractions: Patients with amyoplasia congenita do not have evidence of brain, cardiac, or genitourinary tract abnormality. Bowel atresia and gastroschisis have been reported. The cause of amyoplasia congenita is unknown. Fetal spinal cord disruption due to systemic hypotension producing anterior horn cell ischemia is the most likely explanation. Amyoplasia congenita is a sporadic condition. This is an important condition to recognize since the chances of recurrence are low and the prognosis is good. Muscle biopsies may show evidence of myopathy and neuropathy. Amyoplasia congenita is the final diagnosis in about one-third of neonates with arthrogryposis. Spinal Cord Abnormalities Traumatic spinal cord injury usually occurs during delivery. It should be suspected if no cause for arthrogryposis is found and there are no signs of brain or brainstem involvement. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine is indicated. Arthrogryposis of the lower extremities has been reported with lumbosacral meningocele (Figure 163.1) and with sacral agenesis. A B Figure 163.1.
