Lethal skeletal dysplasias (LSD) are a heterogeneous group of rare but important genetic disorders characterized by abnormal growth and development of bone and cartilage. We describe the diagnosis and outcome of 29 cases of lethal skeletal dysplasias evaluated between January 1989 and December 1996

β¦ Synopsis
We describe a 2-year-old girl with clinical and radiological findings of Burton skeletal dysplasia. This rare disorder shows some similarities to Kniest dysplasia. Short stature, joint stiffness, microstomia, and pursed lips are characteristic clinical findings. Platyspondyly with cervical kyphosis, but no coronal clefts, and bowing of the long bones are distinctive radiographic findings.
