Morquio's disease: Report of two cases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1929 Morquio' described an osseous condition characterized by a widespread, symmetrical deformity of the skeletal system. It was characterized by a shortening of height and an anterior posterior deepening of the thorax. In contrast, the extremities have normal dimensions, although there are deformities present such as flat feet and genu valgum. Since then, Ruggles2, Meyer and Brennemann', Barnett4, Davis and Currie5, and Coward and Nemir6, have published reports of similar cases. In all there have been eighteen cases reported. The familial occurrence of the disease is most marked, there being only three cases on record where only one member of a family was affected.
