Abstract

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a syndrome characterized by non-progressive multiple congenital joint contractures. The exact etiology of arthrogryposis is unknown. It may be due to neuropathic or muscular pathologies, connective tissue disorders, conditions limiting the uterine space, intrauterine vascular abnormalities, or maternal diseases. In the early period of the disease, establishment of the correct diagnosis is crucial for determining the prognosis and initiation of the appropriate therapy. Herein, a 69-year-old female patient initially admitted with shoulder pain and later diagnosed to have both shoulder lesion and multiple joint contractures is presented

Özet

Artrogripozis Multipleks Konjenita, progresif olmayan multipl konjenital eklem kontraktürleri ile karakterize bir sendromdur. Kesin etyolojisi bilinmemektedir, nöropatik veya müsküler patolojilere, konnektif doku anormalliklerine, uterus boşluğunu daraltan durumlara, intrauterin vasküler yetmezliklere veya maternal hastalıklara bağlı olarak gelişebilmektedir. Erken dönemde doğru tanının konulması, prognozun belirlenmesi ve uygun tedavinin bir an önce başlatılması için önem taşımaktadır. Burada omuz ağrısı yakınması ile başvuran ve yapılan incelemelerde omuz lezyonu ile birlikte eklemlerinde multipl kontraktürler saptanan 69 yaşında bayan bir hasta sunulmaktadır
