- Abstract
- We examined the clinico-pathologic features and radiographic findings of a total
of 14 qutopsy cases of congenital short-limbed dwarfism in an attempt to identify the morphological
features of diagnostic significance. They included one case each of achondrogenesis
type I, achondroplasia, short rib-polydactyly syndrome, chondrodystrophia calcificans congenita,
and 3 cases of thanatophoric dwarfism, and 8 cases of osteogenesis imperfecta fetalis. All
cases were born dead or died in a first few days of life because of respiratory distress
produced by short and narrow thoraces. Birth weights were generally low for their gestational
age. A striking feature was the discrepancy between the relatively long, narrow trunk and the
extremely short extremities. They had a relatively large head with frontal bossing, and flattened
nasal bridge. The pathological observation of these materials demonstrated that the
majority of chondrodysplasia were distinct abnormalities in the endochondral osification. There
were subtle but definite differences in the degree of involvement of endochondral ossification.
We presented clinical, radiological and morphologic features observed in six different types of
osteochondrodysplasia and discussed characteristic differential features of congenital short
limbed dwarfism.
