The authors describe a case of predominantly right-sided arthrogryposis in an infant with contralateral congenital cerebral hypoplasia and associated unilateral hydrocephalus. Diagnosis was made by prenatal ultrasonography and confirmed by postnatal cerebral CT-scanning. In addition to a variety of congenital neuromuscular disorders, arthrogryposis may be caused by disorders of the central nervous system. Hence, in the diagnostic approach of newborns with congenital contractures, cerebral malformations must be considered.
作者描述了一例主要为右侧关节挛缩症的婴儿病例,该婴儿伴有对侧先天性脑发育不全及相关的单侧脑积水。诊断通过产前超声检查做出,并经产后脑部CT扫描得以证实。除了多种先天性神经肌肉疾病外,关节挛缩症可能由中枢神经系统疾病引起。因此,在对患有先天性挛缩的新生儿进行诊断时,必须考虑脑畸形。
