  • Title: A Novel Presentation of Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia, Schmid Type with Factor VII Deficiency.

    Journal: Cureus; 2020 Mar 23; 12(3):e7371. PubMed ID: 32328382.
    Abstract:
    Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, Schmid type (MDSC) is a rare inherited autosomal disorder with characteristic skeletal deformities striking on radiological imaging, which includes metaphyseal cupping and fraying. Physical examination reveals short stature in early childhood, frontoparietal bossing, rachitic rosary, genu varum and valgum, and coxa vara usually. We believe that the constellation of clinical and radiographic findings of MDSC might look similar to vitamin D resistant rickets; hence, genetic analysis is needed to overcome diagnostic challenges faced by physicians to avoid unnecessary vitamin D supplementation in individuals. We report the first case of MDSC with a coexisting factor VII deficiency in an eight-year-old boy.
