Congenital Deformities with Stippled Epiphyses and Congenital Cataract

Congenital Stippled Epiphyses

Caffey (1950) suggested the term 'congenital stippled epiphyses' for a syndrorm consisting of achondroplasia, radiologial evidence of discrete centres of calcification in cartilaginous epiphyses, together with cataracts and mental deficwiency. The condition was first described by Conradi (1914) under the title 'Chondrodystrophia Foetalis Hypoplastica', and was reviewed by Ford, Schneider and Br...

Non-surgical Management of Congenital Auricular Deformities

BACKGROUND Unlike congenital auricular malformations which are identified by underdevelopment of dermal and cartilaginous tissues, deformed ears are less sever congenital anomalies characterized only by a misshaped pinna structure and can be improved with acceptable cosmetic results and minimal cost through ear molding if treated in early neonatal period. In this study, authors present the f...
