skeletal dysplasia definition
abnormal growth and density
what occurs secondary to skeletal displasia
dwarfism
what should you assess in potential SD 7+
limb shortening - measure long bones
contour - thickness, bowing fractures
degree of ossification - hypomeneralization/decreased echogenicity
thoracic circumference/shape - narrow, bell shaped
hand and foot anomalies - talipses, polydactyly
face and profile - cleft, bossing, micrognathia, hypertelorism
other anomalies - hydrocephalus/hydrops/heart defect
SD terms 3
rhizomelia
mesomelia
micromelia
rhizomelia
shortening of proximal bone (humerus, femur)
mesomelia
shortening of middle segment (R/U/T/F)
micromelia
shortening of entire extremity
most common form of lethal SD
thanatophoric dysplasia
meaning of thanatophoric dysplasia
death bearing
type 1 thanatophoric dysplasia 2
cured, short femurs
flat vertebral bodies
type 2 thanatophoric dusplasia 3
straight, short femurs
flat vertebral bodies
cloverleaf skull
US findings of thanatophoric dysplasia 10
severe micromelia cloverleaf skull narrow thorax short ribs protuberant abdomen hypertelorism flat vertebral bodies poly hydrocephalus hydrops
most common nonlethal SD
achondrophlasia
cause of achondroplasia 4+-
decreased endochondrial bone formation due to
spontaneous mutation or
autosomal recessive
advanced paternal age
types of achondroplasia
heterozygous and homozygous
heterozygous achondroplasia “prognosis/outcome”
good survival
normal intelligence
may require orthopedic/neurologic surgery
homozygous achondroplasia prognosis/outcome 2+
lethal
25% of offspring of achondroplasia parents
US findings more severe (narrow thorax/pulmonary hypoplasia)
US findings of achondroplasia 9
rhizomelia with normal ossification no fractures progressive macrocephally frontal bossing depressed nasal bridge upturned nasal tip trident hands - short fingers normal to bell shaped chest
achondrogenesis prognosis
rare, lethal SD due to failure of cartolagious matric formation
achondrogenesis result
abnormal bone formation and hypomineralization
achondrogenesis types
Type 1 A&B - severe, autosomal recessive
Type 2 - less severe, spontanous
Type 1A achondrogenesis 4
most severe
poorly ossified skull
unossified spine
short ribs with fractures
type 1B achondrogenesis 3
poorly ossified skull
no rib fractures
posterior peduncles of spine may be ossified
type 2 achondrogenesis 2
normal skull ossification
poorly ossified spine
