Spinal Exostosis in a Boy with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses
We report on a 13-year-old boy who presented with multiple hereditary exostosis and had development of back pain, associated with neurological deficits, and was found to have exostoses in the spinal canal. Spine radiograph showed a cauliflower-like abnormality of multiple exostoses of the posterior arch (pedicle) of the thoracic vertebrae (T3-5). Reformatted CT scanning revealed the simultaneou...
متن کاملHereditary multiple exostoses.
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is a skeletal disorder which primarily affects enchondral bone during growth. It is characterised by multiple exostoses, usually arising in the juxtaepiphyseal region of the long bones. Exostoses that affect "almost every bone in the body" were first mentioned by John Hunter in his Lectures on the principles of surgery in 1786.1 The first family affected by H...
متن کاملManifestations of hereditary multiple exostoses.
The solitary osteochondroma, a common pediatric bone tumor, is a cartilage-capped exostosis. Hereditary multiple exostosis is an autosomal dominant disorder manifested by the presence of multiple osteochondromas. Linkage analysis has implicated mutations in the EXT gene family, resulting in an error in the regulation of normal chondrocyte proliferation and maturation that leads to abnormal bone...
متن کاملThe hip in hereditary multiple exostoses.
We defined the characteristics of dysplasia and coxa valga in hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) by radiological analysis of 24 hips in 12 patients. The degree and effect of the 'osteochondroma load' around the hip were quantified. We investigated the pathology of the labrum and the incidence of osteoarthritis and of malignant change in these patients. Coxa valga and dysplasia were common with...
متن کاملMutant EXT1 in Taiwanese Patients with Multiple Hereditary Exostoses
BACKGROUND Multiple hereditary exostoses (MHE) is characterized by multiple benign projections of bone capped by cartilage, most numerous in metaphyses of long bones. HME are usually inherited in autosomal dominant mode, chief genes EXT1 and EXT2. METHODS Two MHE patients were identified from clinic and enrolled in genetic study, complete coding regions of EXT1 and EXT2, including intron/exon...
