Micromelic bone dysplasia with cloverleaf skull is a rare skeletal disorder. New cases reveal variable head shapes and associated visceral malformations, suggesting it

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Skeletal Dysplasias
  • Teratology

Background:

  • Micromelic bone dysplasia with cloverleaf skull is a recognized skeletal dysplasia.
  • Characterized by short, straight long bones, hydrocephalus, cloverleaf skull, narrow chest, and platyspondyly.

Observation:

  • Presents two unrelated patients with variations in head shape.
  • Both cases exhibited a narrow foramen magnum, hypoplastic cerebellum, atrial septal defect, hypoplastic adrenal glands, and ureteric malformations.

Findings:

  • Skeletal features resemble other generalized bone dysplasias but are distinct.
  • The condition is likely a separate, well-defined entity.

Implications:

  • Associated visceral malformations can occur.

  • Further research is needed to fully delineate this rare skeletal dysplasia and its associated anomalies.
