A new form of hereditary short limbed dwarfism with microcephalus.
Siblings, one female and one male, were each born approximately 1 month prematurely and showed microcephalus, shortness, and short limbs plus a receding forehead and one peculiarly positioned small toe. Each failed to thrive, and neither made any developmental progress beyond the newborn status. Each exhibited a similar leukemoid reaction, and one died of respiratory infection at 3 months, the ...
متن کاملShort-limbed dwarfism: slw is a new allele of Npr2 causing chondrodysplasia.
Short-limbed dwarfism (SLW) is a new mutant mouse characterized by a dwarf phenotype with markedly short body, limbs, and tail. In the present study, we investigated the skeletal phenotypes of the SLW mouse and determined the chromosomal localization to identify the gene responsible for the phenotypes (slw). Skeletal preparations stained with alcian blue and alizarin red revealed that longitudi...
متن کاملIntrauterine temporomandibular joint dislocation: prenatal sonographic evaluation.
Congenital temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases are very rare disorders and are usually diagnosed in childhood. Developmental disorders of the TMJ such as hypoplasia, hyperplasia, and aplasia of the TMJ compartments are characterized by TMJ dysfunction. In childhood, these patients experience recurrent dislocation, pain, and malocclusion. We present the case of a 25-week fetus with unilateral...
متن کاملPrenatal Sonographic Diagnosis and Evaluation of Isolated Macrodactyly
Macrodactyly, defined as enlargement of one or several digits of the hands or feet, is a rare malformation. It may be due tumorous enlargement of a single tissue element, as in hemangioma, lymphangioma or enchondroma or it may be caused by overgrowth of all structures of the digit, including phalanges, subcutaneous tissue, nerves, vessels and skin as in ‘true macrodactyly’(Barsky, 1967). Furthe...
متن کاملA sonographic approach to prenatal classification of congenital spine anomalies
Objective: To develop a classification system for congenital spine anomalies detected by prenatal ultrasound. Methods: Data were collected from fetuses with spine abnormalities diagnosed in our institution over a five-year period between June 2005 and June 2010. The ultrasound images were analysed to determine which features were associated with different congenital spine anomalies. Findings of...
