Spinal muscular atrophy type 0 is a severe form of spinal muscular atrophy that is usually fatal in the first months of life. These children present with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and respiratory compromise. We describe a child with spinal muscular atrophy and arthrogryposis multiplex congenita who has had a much better course and is alive without ventilator support at age 6 years. This case illustrates that the prognosis for spinal muscular atrophy and arthrogryposis multiplex congenita cannot always be predicted with certainty. (J Child Neurol 2001;16:934-936).
