mesomelia
medial long bone abnormalities (ulna and tibia)
acromelia
distal abnormalities (small hands and feet)
spondylodysplasia
abnormalities of the spine, with or without limb abnormalities
most common skeletal dysplasi
achondrolasia
achondroplasia is what?
rhizomelia; inheritance is AD, but most cases are sporatic; caused by mutation in the FGFR 3 gene
clinical features of achondroplasia
craniofacial include megalencephaly (large brain), foramen magnum stenosis, frontal bossing, midface hypoplasia, and low nasal bridge
skeletal findings in achondroplasia
lumbar kyphosis that evolves into lumbar lordosis; rhizomelic lmb shortening; trident shaped hands; recurrent otitis media w conductive hearing loss
complications of achondroplasia
foramen magnum stenosis may lead to hydrocephalus or cord compression; SIDS may occur as a result of cord compression; obstructive sleep apnea; severe bowed legs and back pain
potter syndrome
caused by severe oligohydramnios which causes lung hypoplasia and fetal compression with limb abnormalities and facial features
amniotic band syndrome
aka amnion rupture sequence; occurs as a result of rupture of amniotic sac; small strands from the amnion may wrap around the fetus causing limb scarring and amputation
fetal alcohol syndrome
SGA, FTT, microcephaly, long smooth philtrum with a thin, smooth upper lip; ADHD; mental retardation, and cardiac defects (VSD most common)
fetal phenytoin syndrome
mental retardation; cardiac defects, growth retard, nail and digit abnormalities; characteristic facial features
anomalies associated with cigarette smoking
SGA, polycythemia
anomalies assoc with cocain
IUGR, microcephaly, GU abnormalities
abnormalities assoc with DES
cervical cancer, GU abnormalities
isotretinoin- abnormalities assoc with
CNS issues, cardiac issues, thymic hypoplasia
phenytoin-associated abnormalities
wider anterior fontanelle; thick hair with low hairline; small nails, cardiac defect
PTU associated with what defects
hypothyroidism, goiter
Thalidomide associated with
phocomelia (malformed extremities resulting in flipper like appendages)
valproic acid
narrow head, high forehead, midface hypoplasia, spina bifida, cardiac defects, convex nails
