Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita due to congenital myasthenia.

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.
