Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is usually picked up in antenatal ultrasound scans along with history of decreased fetal movements. But sometimes features will be very vague that it can be missed.
Usual findings in scan include lack of mobility and abnormal position.
The earlier the contractures occur harder is the early prenatal diagnosis.
Do follow your doctors advice.
After birth it is visible to naked eye in the first few days of birth.
Wishing your child speedy recovery.

Dr Arun
