  • Title: [Clinico-roentgenologic semeiotics of chondroectodermal dysplasia (Ellis-van Creveld syndrome)].
    Author: Prokopenko OP.
    Journal: Vestn Rentgenol Radiol; 1989; (6):51-6. PubMed ID: 2623808.
    Abstract:
    The paper is devoted to the description of a rare hereditary systemic skeletal disease--chondroectodermal dysplasia (CED). The clinical symptoms of CED are divided into 4 groups. On the basis of 2 cases, symptoms of the affection of the locomotor system in patients with Ellis-van Creveld syndrome are analyzed. An x-ray picture of hand and foot lesions is characterized not only by change in the shape, size, number and synostosis of some bones but also by marked reorganization of osseous tissue in the epimetaphysial regions. X-ray examination was shown to be the chief method for investigation of the osseous system.
