ABSTRACT The association of multiple congenital arthrogryposis with nail-patella syndrome is rare, because both pathologies are infrequent. Due to the great range of clinical radiological manifestations of both syndromes, it is necessary to know the clinical characteristics of each of them to identify the origin of these affections found in the patient after reaching the adulthood. It is presented an adult patient treated during the childhood in the Pediatric Hospital ¨Eliseo Noel Caamaño¨, of Matanzas, with the association of both entities, to observe his current anatomic, functional and radiological status. The aim was studying the patient´s clinical radiological evolution through the time. The conclusion we arrived at was that this kind of pathologies produce severe deformities of the Osteomyoarticular System and also of other systems, so it is required a multidisciplinary approach and a strict follow-up to offer the society useful persons in spite of their physical limitations.

Keywords : congenital arthrogryposis; syndrome; nail-patella; clinical radiological manifestations.
