Lethal multiple pterygium syndrome (LMPS) is a rare association of anomalies of the skin, muscles and skeleton. LMPS is characterised by growth deficiency of prenatal onset, pterygia present in multiple areas (chin to sternum, cervical, axillary, humero-ulnar, crural, popliteal, and the ankles) and flexion contractures giving rise to severe arthrogryposis.
