Q

Achondrogenesis type I vs. type II

A

type I- inherited autosomal recessive
most severe form. Characterized by: inadequate ossification of the skull, spine + pelvis, extensive shortening of tubular bones, multiple rib fractures
type II- various degrees of calcifications of the pelvis, skull, and spine. Without rib fractures. Mostly sporadic (new autosomal dominant mutations)

Q

Hypophospatasia is an inherited condition that affects:

A

bones + teeth

22
Q

Infants with hypophosphatasia are born with:

A

short limbs, an abnormally shaped chest and soft skull bones

spine is usually hypomineralized whereas with osteogenesis type II, the spine is not affect

23
Q

What two conditions are most commonly associated with hypomineralization of the spine?

A

achondrogenesis type I and hypophosphatasia

skull is not affected with achondrogenesis type I

24
Q

Osteogenesis imperfecta:

A

congenital bone disorder characterized by brittle bones that are prone to fracture

25
Q

What are the two types of osteogenesis imperfecta:

A

Type 1- blue sclera, hyperlaxity of ligaments and skin. Hearing impairment. No prenatal deformities
Type 2- lethal, no ossification of the skull, beaded ribs, shortened and crumpled long bones, multiple fractures, thorax short but not narrow

26
Q

What condition is most commonly associated with fetal fractures?

A

osteogenesis imperfecta

27
Q

Caudal regression syndrome:

A

impairment of the development of the lower half of the body–lower back/limbs/GU and GI tract
bones of lower spine are frequently misshapen or missing (same with corresponding spinal cord)
incomplete closure of spine
breathing problems

28
Q

There’s a lot of shit on this PPT

A

too much info for these cards

29
Q

What are the genital abnormalities seen in females + males with caudal regression?

A

males- urethral opening on underside of penis (hypospadia) + cryptorchidism
females- rectovaginal fistula
*both can lack genitalia all together in severe cases

30
Q

What are the GI abnormalities seen with caudal regression?

A

malrotation of large intestine
imperforated anus
inguinal hernias

31
Q

What are the urinary abnormalities seen with caudal regression?

A

unilateral renal agenesis
horseshoe kidney
ureteral duplication
bladder exstrophy

32
Q

What is sirenomelia?

A

legs are fused together

usually fatal bc of abnormal kidney + bladder developmet

33
Q

What causes sirenomelia?

A

failure of a normal vascular supply from lower aorta in utero

34
Q

Amniotic band syndrome:

A

spectrum of abnormalities which results from entrapment of various fetal parts from a disrupted amnion

35
Q

Radial ray anomaly:

A

large spectrum of upper limb anomalies which range from partial to complete deficiency of the radius w/ or w/o accompanying deficiency of the thumb

36
Q

Polydactyly:

A

foot/hand w/ more than 5 digits

a/w tri-13, Meckel Gruber Syndrome (encephalocele, polydactyly + renal cystic dysplasia)

37
Q

Clinodactyly is what? What is it most a/w?

A

inward curvature of 5th digit of the hand due to hypoplasia of the mid phalanx

tri-21 - 61%

38
Q

Persistently clenched hand with overlapping fingers is a/w?

A
aneuploidic: 
tri-18 (edwards syndrome)

What is Pena-Shokeir syndrome?

A

autosomal recessive non aneuploidic condition with some clinical features similar to tri18. Lethal
