Marden-Walker syndrome

Marden-Walker syndrome (MWS) is a malformation syndrome characterized by multiple joint contractures (arthrogryposis), a mask-like face with blepharophimosis, micrognathia, high-arched or cleft palate, low-set ears, decreased muscular bulk, kyphoscoliosis and arachnodactyly.

Hypokinesia

Abnormally diminished motor activity. In contrast to paralysis, hypokinesia is not characterized by a lack of motor strength, but rather by a poverty of movement. The typical habitual movements (e.g., folding the arms, crossing the legs) are reduced in frequency.

	In the present patient the fetal hypokinesia sequence, due to central nervous system malformation, is most compatible with the diagnosis of Marden-Walker syndrome.
