the rare form of skeletal dysplasia is thanatophoric dysplasia. the meaning for thanatophoric dysplasia is death bearing which is derived from greek word. it occurs 1in 20,000 to 50,000. it is mainly due to mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3gene. features of thanatophoric dysplasia are frontal bossing, prominent eyes, narrow thorax, protruded abdomen and bowed legs. the knowle...

purpose: to report a case of cloverleaf skull syndrome with cleft palate. results: we report a 20-day-old boy with cloverleaf-shaped skull deformity, very constricted cranium and prominent temporal bones associated with severe proptosis, maked lid retraction, conjunctival chemosis, exposure keratitis, corneal opacity and cleft palate. ct-scan dislosed fusion of the coronal, sagittal and lambdoi...

We propose a new interpretation for the CO emitting region of the Cloverleaf (H1413+1143), a gravitationally lensed QSO. We proceed by fitting a two-galaxy lensing model directly to the IRAM CO(7-6) data rather than to the optical HST image. From the fit we infer that the CO source might be a disk-like structure with a characteristic radius R ≥ 790 pc, a value similar to that of the CO emitting...

The present report is aimed at describing a rare case of cranial malformation - cloverleaf skull syndrome -, whose presence was noticed after the birth of a child with signs of abnormality. Imaging diagnosis methods such as computed tomography and conventional radiography were used to characterize the syndrome.
