SUMMARY Decreased fetal movements may cause arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. Several distinct neuromuscular disorders may cause this syndrome, but congenital myasthenia has not previously been considered to be a possible cause. The authors report a case of congenital myasthenia gravis leading to arthrogryposis congenita. RÉSUMÉ Arthrogrypose congenitale multiple due a une myasthenic congenitale Une diminution des mouvements foetaux peut provoquer une arthrogrypose congenitale multiple. Plusieurs troubles neuromusculaires differents peuvent causer ce syndrome mais la myasthenic congenitale n'avait pas été envisagee comme cause possible. Les auteurs rapportent un cas de myasthenic congenitale a l'origine d'une arthrogrypose congenitale multiple. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Angeborene Arrhrogryposis multiplex hervorgerufen durch eine angeborene Myasthenie Verminderte fetale Bewegungen konnen eine Arhrogryposis multiplex hervorrufen. Es gibt mehrere bestimmte neuromuskulare Erkrankungen, die als Ursache fur dieses Syndrom in Frage kommen; die angeborene Myasthenie ist bisher jedoch nicht als mogliche Ursache in Betracht gezogen worden. Die Autoren berichten uber einen Fall einer angeborenen Myasthenie, die zu einer Arthrogryposis multiplex gefiihrt hat. RESUMEN Artrogriposis mu'ltiple congéita debida a miastenia congknita La disminución de movimientos fetales puede causar artrogriposis mliltiple congknita. Diversas alteraciones neuromusculares diferentes pueden causar este sindrome, per0 la miastenia conghita no ha sido considerada como una causa posible. Los autores aportan un caso de miastenia congknita que dio lugar a una artrogriposis mliltiple congknita.
