Y1 - 2006 N1 - T2 - Syndromes: Rapid Recognition and Perioperative Implications AB - Genetic disorder characterized by abnormal bone development. Bowing of the bones in the arms and legs is characteristic. Particular facial appearance includes hypertelorism, full cheeks, small facial bones, and severe micrognathia. Other clinical features include a relatively small chest cavity with irregular ribbon-like ribs, short clavicle, short stature, and narrow shoulders. Pectus excavatum is often present. Occasionally, dislocation of the hip occurs. May present hydronephrosis caused by urinary retention caused by small ureters. There is some suggestion that the entity is a form of the fronto-otopalatodigital osteodysplasia syndrome.
