17
Q

Diastrophic Dysplasia

A
Major features: 
●Respiratory insufficiency in newborns
●“Unusual” Clubfoot-->Inward and upward-turning foot
●Scoliosis
●“Hitchhiker thumbs”
●Cleft palate
●Restricted joint mobility
●Severe lumbar lordosis
●Valgus deformities
●Toe walking/standing due to severe club foot and shortened tendons

●Broad forehead with high anterior hairline
●Cystic ear swelling
●Short stature
●Spinal cord compression
●Normal intellect
18
Q

Apert syndrome

A

●Syndactyly
●Omphalocele

19
Q

Pfeiffer syndrome

A

●Craniosynostosis–>May exhibit cloverleaf skull (also seen in thanatophoric dysplasia)
●Bulging eyes
●High, prominent forehead
●Hearing loss
●Dental malocclusion
●Wide thumbs/large toes which bend outward from other digits
●Brachydactyly and/or syndactyly

●Disproportionately short limbs
●Broad, short hands and feet
●Mild joint laxity
●Macrocephaly
●Usually normal intelligence
●Scoliosis

●Similar but milder skeletal features as in achondroplasia
22
Q

McCune-Albright syndrome

A
●Coast of Maine café au lait macule
     oDistribution of macules along the midline
●Fibrous dysplasia
     oCan involve any part/combination of craniofacial, axial, and/or appendicular skeleton
