Resumen
TORRES-BATISTA, Luis Enrique et al. Neonatal arthrogryposis associated to misoprostol. Rev. mex. pediatr. [online]. 2021, vol.88, n.5, pp.199-203. Epub 08-Ago-2022. ISSN 0035-0052. https://doi.org/10.35366/103901.
Introduction:
Congenital arthrogryposis multiplex (CAM) is a type of systemic joint dysplasia, characterized by congenital joint stiffness in multiple locations. Its incidence is variable, and it can be diagnosed by ultrasonography at early gestational ages. Multiple causes have been described.
Case presentation:
Newborn with postnatal diagnosis of CAM, since joint deformities, movement limitation, lower limb contractures, convex valgus feet, bilateral vertical talus, associated with congenital inguinal hernia and congenital hydrocephalus were identified. The patient required evaluation of several specialties for his treatment. There was a history of misoprostol use in the first months of pregnancy, which could be the cause of CAM.
Conclusions:
Patients with CAM can have a range of malformations, so their early recognition will help offer the best alternatives to improve their prognosis as much as possible. Participation of specialists in genetics is essential.
