    Author: Savini R, Gargiulo G, Cervellati S, Di Silvestre M.
    Journal: Ital J Orthop Traumatol; 1991 Jun; 17(2):199-209. PubMed ID: 1797731.
    Abstract:
    Achondroplasia is the most common type of rhizomelic dwarfism. The abnormal spinal development of the achondroplastic dwarf can result in neurologic damage due primarily to the following two syndromes: lumbar spinal canal stenosis and thoracolumbar kyphosis. The authors report the cases observed at their institution, discussing the diagnosis and operative treatment.
