The combination of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and osteogenesis imperfecta is extremely rare. This combination is named Bruck syndrome. A 34 week male baby weighing 1.7 kg at birth was noted to have multiple flexion contractures and pterygia at elbows, wrists and knees, in addition to right foot talipes equinovarus deformity. Postnatally the child developed multiple swellings involving both the upper and lower limbs. A plain radiograph revealed the presence of fractures involving the long bones of the upper and lower limbs. A diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita was made, and the patient was labeled as a case of Bruck Syndrome. The aim of this report is to make the readers aware regarding this rare entity and to specifically look for presence of features suggestive of osteogenesis imperfecta when encountered with a neonate born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. |
