Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy.

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy.

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy (SEDT-PA) is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia affecting primarily the articular cartilage. Here we present a nine-year-old girl from Middle Anatolia (Sivas) with SEDT-PA. Her complaints were pain and progressive deformity of the joints. She had a short stature with increased thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis. The r...

Corneal changes in spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda.

BACKGROUND A new type of corneal opacity with prominent corneal nerve fibers as an ocular complication of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT). CASE A 58-year-old woman, diagnosed with SEDT at 5 years of age, underwent a complete ophthalmological examination. OBSERVATIONS The patient had no complaints and no history of eye disease.

Spondylo-epiphysial dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy. A "new" disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance.

Fifteen patients with an inherited skeletal dysplasia which is considerably more crippling than the usual form of spondylo-epiphysial dysplasia tarda are presented. The disorder has a striking clinical, though not radiological, resemblance to rheumatoid arthritis but with the addition of platyspondyly. It has not previously been described, although it is possible that the case referred to by Ma...

Three Cases of Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda in One Korean Family

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED) tarda is an inherited skeletal arthropathy. Because SED tarda involves the joints and resemble the clinical findings of chronic arthropathies, this disease is frequently misdiagnosed as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We report here on three patients (father and his two daughters) in one family with SED tarda. All patients had back pain and polyarthralgia...
