Pseudodiastrophic dysplasia is a distinct disorder that differs from diastrophic dysplasia on the basis of elbow and proximal interphalangeal joint dislocations, platyspondyly, and scoliosis. We report on a new patient with this rare skeletal dysplasia and two previously undescribed major malformati

Diastrophic dysplasia (DTD) is a well characterized, recessively inherited osteochondrodysplasia. Forty-eight patients with DTD were studied for craniofacial characteristics. Of these patients, 58% had cleft palate. A cephalometric analysis based on lateral cephalograms was performed. We observed a
Diastrophic dysplasia (DTD) is an autosomal recessive skeletal disorder characterized by disproportionate short stature, talipes equinovarus, flexion contracture of the knees, ''hitchhiker thumbs,'' increased incidence of dislocation at major joints, ear abnormalities, cleft palate, and progressive
Gracile bones are a frequent abnormality associated with fetal hypokinesia of any cause. With the exception of thin, undermineralized bones, the chondro-osseous structure is usually normal in these cases. We present a lethal skeletal dysplasia comprising minor anomalies, central nervous system abnor
Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD) was found in 6 generations of a large German kindred; 24 affected individuals were identified. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by further examinations in 15 individuals, including 2 exhumed skeletons. Five deceased individuals were considered to be undoubtedly
The clinical phenotype of Schimke immunoosseous dysplasia (SID) is characterized by growth retardation, renal failure, recurrent infections, cerebral infarcts, and skin pigmentation beginning in childhood. We report here on a 4-year-old male child who had all characteristic symptoms of SID, and, in
