A further case of opsismodysplasia with hydrocephalus.
We present a case of opsismodysplasia, a very rare skeletal dysplasia, in a term newborn female who had short length, short extremities and markedly short fingers. Radiological studies demonstrated severe platyspondyly, absence of epiphyseal ossification centers, short tubular bones, especially severe in hands and feet, with metaphyseal cupping. She also had hydrocephaly, a rare finding in opsismodysplasia. In our literature review we have found 24 cases, 17 born alive and seven terminations of pregnancy (TOPs).
