Arthrogryposis following maternal hypotension.
A case of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is described, in which the pregnancy had been complicated by a prolonged hypotensive period on the 86th day of gestation. The similarity in pathological findings between ischaemic myelopathy and arthrogryposis suggest that maternal hypotension was an aetiological factor in this infant's arthrogryposis.
