Case report: neonatal platyspondylic dwarfism--a new form.

Abstract

A new type of neonatal bone dysplasia is reported. Unusual radiographic abnormalities (platyspondyly with unique shape of the vertebral bodies, shortening of the long tubular bones without signs of rickets or metaphyseal dysplasia, marked shortening of well-ossified short tubular bones, schneckenbecken-like pelvis with tri-radiate acetabulum, pseudoepiphysis of the right ulna, unusual shape of calcaneus and periarticular calcifications) allow designation of this disorder as a new form of neonatal dwarfism.
