  • Title: Severe neurological complications in skeletal dysplasias: two case reports.
    Author: Weisfelt M, Poll-The BT, Hennekam RC.
    Journal: Eur J Paediatr Neurol; 2006; 10(5-6):241-3. PubMed ID: 17035051.
    Abstract:
    Skeletal dysplasias form a diverse and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders, but also share many clinical and radiographic features. We describe two illustrative cases and provide a short review of the literature on the neurological complications associated with various groups of skeletal dysplasias. These two cases illustrate that management of skeletal dysplasias requires a multidisciplinary approach, aimed at preventing or minimizing medical complications. Follow-up should include regular comprehensive neurological evaluation, as neurological complications can be severe and are often treatable if diagnosed at an early stage.
