  • Title: Morquio's disease and the hearing organ.
    Author: Kelemen G.
    Journal: ORL J Otorhinolaryngol Relat Spec; 1977; 39(4):233-40. PubMed ID: 415282.
    Abstract:
    Histopathologic evidence offered by a case of Morquio's disease and observed in the hearing organ showed widespread collagen damage, possibly initiated by the general hemorrhageous tendency, while the family history bore evidence of a genetic source. The clinical manifestations comprise striking dwarfism, beaking of the lumbar spine, sternal bulging, flaring of the rib cage, falt vertebrae, marked osteoporosis, prominent joints, semi-crouching stance, short nose. Roentgenograms showed retarded ossification.
