    Congenital cervical spinal atrophy is a rare condition affecting newborns, characterized by upper limb weakness. This condition likely results from a prenatal vascular injury to the spinal cord.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Developmental Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Understanding rare congenital neurological disorders is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention.
    • Spinal cord development is complex and vulnerable to prenatal insults.

    Observation:

    • Three newborns presented with axial hypotonia and symmetrical flaccid paresis affecting upper extremities.
    • Muscle involvement was noted in both proximal and distal groups, with poorly developed palmar creases and hand muscle atrophy at birth.

    Findings:

    • Clinical presentation, muscle biopsy results, and a nonprogressive course suggest a prenatal vascular insult.
    • The findings support the designation of congenital cervical spinal atrophy for this condition.

    Implications:
