Three children presented at birth with axial hypotonia and symmetrical flaccid paresis limited to the upper extremities, and involving proximal and distal muscle groups. At birth, palmar flexion creases were poorly developed, and the hand muscles were atrophic. These clinical features, the muscle biopsy findings, and the nonprogressive course, suggest a vascular insult to the cervical spinal cord during gestation. The term, congenital cervical spinal atrophy seems most descriptive of these features.
三名儿童出生时即出现轴索性肌张力减退及仅限于上肢的对称性弛缓性麻痹,累及近端和远端肌群。出生时,掌屈纹发育不良,手部肌肉萎缩。这些临床特征、肌肉活检结果以及病情无进展的过程,提示在妊娠期颈脊髓受到血管损伤。“先天性颈脊髓萎缩”这一术语似乎最能描述这些特征。
