title: Akinesia, arthrogryposis, craniosynostosis: a presentation of neonatal myasthenia with fetal onset.
abstract: Major akinesia with arthrogryposis and craniosynostosis at birth mimics irreversible disorders of the nervous system of pejorative outcome. In this context, the early detection of anti-acetylcholine fetal receptor antibodies in the mother may allow rapid diagnosis of transient neonatal myasthenia of favorable prognosis.
