ABSTRACT

La artrogriposis es un hallazgo clínico poco común, consistente en contracturas articulares congénitas, no progresivas, que pueden asociarse a otras entidades clínicas, afectando a 1 de cada 3000 nacidos vivos. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 29 años atendido en un hospital de alta complejidad de Pereira, diagnosticado al año de edad con artrogriposis. Ninguna especialidad se hizo cargo del manejo integral de paciente, en lugar de fisioterapia y ortesis durante su crecimiento osteomuscular, se realizaron más de 14 intervenciones quirúrgicas a la fecha. Actualmente presenta limitación funcional articular, atrofia muscular generalizada, fibrilación auricular, degeneración mixomatosa de la válvula mitral, estado de ánimo crónicamente disminuido y pobre inclusión social y laboral. Se pretende orientar el manejo adecuado de estos casos, para que pacientes con artrogriposis puedan ser diagnosticados y tratados oportunamente, y ser parte integral de la sociedad.

It is presented the case of a male patient aged 29, treated at a high complexity hospital in Pereira city, diagnosed a year old, as arthrogryposis. No medical specialty took full patient management.
