Micromelic dwarfism with cone epiphyses, metaphyseal dysplasia, and vertebral segmentation defects

Micromelic dwarfism with cone epiphyses, metaphyseal dysplasia, and vertebral segmentation defects We present the clinical and radiological findings in a newborn male with severe micromelic dwarfism, short neck, short and narrow upper thorax, and brachydactyly. At the age of 1 year mental development is slightly retarded. The X‐ray findings of severe vertebral segmentation defects and a generalized metaphyseal skeletal dysplasia did not lead to a final, conclusive diagnosis. The present patient may be the first example of a new type of micromelic spondyloepi‐metaphyseal dysplasias. © 1996 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A Wiley

Abstract

We present the clinical and radiological findings in a newborn male with severe micromelic dwarfism, short neck, short and narrow upper thorax, and brachydactyly. At the age of 1 year mental development is slightly retarded. The X‐ray findings of severe vertebral segmentation defects and a generalized metaphyseal skeletal dysplasia did not lead to a final, conclusive diagnosis. The present patient may be the first example of a new type of micromelic spondyloepi‐metaphyseal dysplasias. © 1996 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
