Neonatal mucolipidosis II (I-cell disease) with dysharmonic epiphyseal ossification and butterfly vertebral body.
I-cell (mucolipidosis 2) is a rare, autosomal recessive neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease. Neonatal skeletal radiographs are distinctive; a transient osteopathy that has features resembling hyperparathyroidism and rickets is present during the first year of life.
