β¦ Synopsis
The neurologic manifestations of the skeletal dysplasias are reviewed. Three important major groups are identified: Achondroplasia (cranio-cervical junction problems in infancy, spinal stenosis and neurogenic claudication in the adult). Type II collagenopathies (upper cervical spine anatomic and functional problems), and craniotubular and sclerosing bone dysplasias (osseous overgrowth with foraminal obstruction problems). The remainder of the wellidentified 150 or so bone dysplasias are also evaluated in depth for their diverse neurologic abnormalities. The findings discussed are important both for the diagnosis and management of these patients. Am.

## Abstract Erlenmeyer flask bone deformity (EFD) is a longβstanding term used to describe a specific abnormality of the distal femora. The deformity consists of lack of modeling of the diβmetaphysis with abnormal cortical thinning and lack of the concave diβmetaphyseal curve resulting in an Erlenm
Skeletal material in the Museum of Patholog ical Anatomy, Vienna, has been appraised in order to modify existing descriptive designations and to establish diagnoses of specific genetic disorders. In this way osseous material relating to classical genetic syndromes has been identified and will be ava
## Abstract ## Objective Twelve families that were multiply affected with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and/or chondrocalcinosis, were identified on the island of Terceira, The Azores, potentially supporting the hypothesis that the 2 disorders share common etiopathogenic factors.
Sonographic assessment of the skeleton is a routine part of fetal anomaly scanning. We report a series of 35 cases seen during a 7-year interval in which a skeletal dysplasia was suspected prenatally. In seven (20 per cent) of the 35 cases, a specific diagnosis could not be made either pre-or postna
