RADIOGRAPH BASED DIAGNOSIS OF ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a rare disorder, presenting with multiple contractures and limb deformities.Various theories have been proposed for the development of this congenital anomaly. The final diagnosis is made based upon the clinical signs and imaging findings. This case report aims to outline the imaging features that can help radiologists to make the diagnosis of AMC through radiographs and skeletal survey. Since, very few cases have been reported in literature, no specific treatment protocols have been outlined. Therefore, antenatal diagnosis based on characteristic imaging findings is crucial for early termination and parental counselling.
