Abnormal MSK PT 2 Flashcards
4 kinds of skeletal dysplasia disorders? (order from most lethal to nonlethal)
Thanatophoric dysplasia
Achondrogenesis
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Achondroplasia
What is the most common lethal skeletal dysplasia?
Thanatophoric dysplasia
what is the most common nonlethal skeletal dysplasia?
Achondroplasia
Achondroplasia?
- what will be seen?
- Most common non-lethal
- Autosomal dominant
seen:
- Rhizomelic shortening (may not be recognized until 3rd trimester
- Mild limb bowing
- Exaggerated lumber lordosis
- Enlarged head (macrocephaly)
What are the main characteristics of Achondroplasia? (5)
- Bones of hand and feet are short (trident hand)
- Frontal bossing
- Mid face hypoplasia
- Flattened nasal bridge
- Broad mandible
What is Homozygous achondroplasia?
- Early shortening of femurs (3rd percentile at 14-16 weeks)
- Lethal in the 1st two years of life
trident hand?
bones of hand and feet are short
what is achondroplasia associated with? (5)
- trident hand
- frontal bossing
- mild face hypoplasia
- flattened nasal bridge
- broad mandible
what is homozygous achondrioplasia?
- early shortening of femurs
- letal in 1st 2 years of life
Heterozygous achondroplasia affects?
- affected later in pregnancy
- compatible with a normal life and intellectual development
- shortening of probimal limbs
- short fingers and toes
heterozygous achondrioplasia presents as?
- large head with prominent forehead
- small midface with flattened nasal bridge
- spinal kyphosis or lorgosis
- varus or valgus deformitites
- ear infections
- sleep apnea
- hydrocephalus
What is Hypochondroplasia?
Autosomal dominant
Resembles achondroplasia but features are milder
- Sparing of the head
- Lack of tibial bowing
What is Hypochondroplasia?
Autosomal dominant
Resembles achondroplasia but features are milder
- Sparing of the head
- Lack of tibial bowing
what is Thanatophoric dwarfism characterized by?
- Extremely short limbs
- Folds of extra (redundant) skin on the arms and legs
- Narrow chest
- Short ribs
- Underdeveloped lungs
- Enlarged head with a large forehead
- Prominent, wide-spaced eyes.

thanatophoric dysplasia, type I and type II?
Type I - thanatophoric dysplasia is distinguished by the presence of curved thigh bones and flattened bones of the spine (platyspondyly)
Type II - thanatophoric dysplasia is characterized by straight thigh bones and a moderate to severe skull abnormality called a cloverleaf skull
what occurs when Infants have thanatophoric dysplasia?
usually stillborn or die shortly after birth from respiratory failure
What is the most common lethal skeletal dysplasia?
Thanatophoric Dysplasia
what is Thanatophoric Dysplasia?
Most common lethal skeletal dysplasia Severe micromelia Severe thoracic dysplasia Polyhydramnios Cloverleaf skull deformity
what is Platyspondyly?
- a radiographic feature and refers to flattened vertebral bodies throughout the axial skeleton
- significant narrowing of the chest and prominent abdomen
- most common spinal abnormality in skeletal dysplasias
what is Achondrogenesis?
- 2nd most common lethal skeletal dysplasia
- most severe degree of limb shortening
Achondrogenesis type I?
Is inherited autosomal recessive
more severe form
characterized by:
- Inadequate ossification of the skull, spine, and pelvis
- Extensive shortening of tubular bones
- Multiple rib fractures
