Twelfth rib syndrome, also known as rib tip syndrome, is a painful condition that occurs as a result of highly mobile floating ribs.It commonly presents as pain that may be felt in the lower back or lower abdominal region as a result of the 11th or 12th mobile rib irritating the surrounding tissues and nervous systems.
Micrognathism is a condition where the jaw is undersized. It is also sometimes called mandibular hypoplasia. [2] It is common in infants, [3] [4] but is usually self-corrected during growth, due to the jaws' increasing in size.
Children with autosomal dominant MED experience joint pain and fatigue after exercising. Their x-rays show small and irregular ossification centers, most apparent in the hips and knees. There are very small capital femoral epiphyses and hypoplastic, poorly formed acetabular roofs. [1] A waddling gait may develop.
The most common location is the midthoracic vertebrae, especially the eighth (T8). [6] Neurologic signs result from severe angulation of the spine, narrowing of the spinal canal, instability of the spine, and luxation or fracture of the vertebrae. Signs include rear limb weakness or paralysis, urinary or fecal incontinence, and spinal pain. [5]
Antero-posterior radiographic view, showing missing ribs, absent lumbosacral vertebrae, hypoplastic pelvis and "frog-like" position of the lower extremities. The condition arises from some factor or set of factors present during approximately the 3rd week to 7th week of fetal development.
[4] [5] 75% of children with 3C syndrome have Dandy-Walker malformation and hydrocephalus. [6] Signs and symptoms in other body systems are also associated with 3C syndrome. In the skeletal system, ribs may be absent, and hemivertebrae, syndactyly (fusion of fingers together), and clinodactyly (curvature of the fifth finger) may be present.
Diamond–Blackfan anemia is a is an uncommon congenital hypoplastic anemia that often manifests in the first few months of life. [3] Josephs initially noted Diamond-Blackfan anemia in 1936, [4] and Diamond and Blackfan provided a more thorough description of the condition in 1938. [5]
The male infant survived for 12 days. These authors listed corneal clouding, camptodactyly with hypoplastic nails, and abnormalities of the diaphragm as cardinal features. Samueloff et al. (1987) described a family in which all 4 children had Fryns syndrome and neonatal mortality. [21]
