Kniest Dysplasia:
- Discussion:
- rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by change in body proportions w/
growth;
- because of the short limbs and relatively long trunk during infancy,
this condition often has been confused with achrondroplasia;
- unlike pts with achrondroplasia, the head and face appear normal;
- severe kyphoscoliosis may develop, w/ a marked shortening of trunk
and an apparent reversal of body proportions;
- curves are severe and rigid;
