    Thanatophoric dwarfism, a severe skeletal disorder, presents unique diagnostic challenges. This report details two cases, including one with cloverleaf skull diagnosed prenatally, offering insights into its genetic basis.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Skeletal Dysplasias
    • Prenatal Diagnosis

    Background:

    • Thanatophoric dwarfism is a lethal skeletal dysplasia characterized by severe micromelia and a narrow thorax.
    • Accurate prenatal diagnosis is crucial for genetic counseling and management.
    • Distinguishing thanatophoric dwarfism from other skeletal dysplasias is essential.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of thanatophoric dwarfism are presented.
    • One case featured a cloverleaf skull deformity, diagnosed in utero.
    • Histological findings were complete for this case.

    Findings:

    • Prenatal diagnosis of thanatophoric dwarfism, including cloverleaf skull, is feasible.
    • Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis and provided detailed morphological data.

  • Differential diagnosis from similar dwarfism forms was explored.

    • Implications:

    • Improved understanding of thanatophoric dwarfism phenotypes and their genetic underpinnings.
    • Enhanced accuracy in prenatal diagnosis of severe skeletal dysplasias.
    • Guidance for genetic counseling and family planning in affected pregnancies.
