Background:

Sponastrime Dysplasia is a rare skeletal dysplasia.
Autosomal recessive inheritance patterns are implicated.

Observation:

Clinical, radiological, and chondro-osseous morphology of affected siblings are presented.
Distinctive facial features include midface hypoplasia and a saddle nose, described as an "oriental look".

Findings:

Radiological findings reveal spinal lordosis, osteoporosis, pear-shaped vertebrae, and striated metaphyses (osteopathia striata).
Morphological analysis indicates a disturbance in cartilage formation, specifically a defect in collagen and proteoglycans synthesis.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of Sponastrime Dysplasia.
