Extractions: Dubowitzin oireyhtymä on hyvin harvinainen sairaus (vuosittain syntyy koko maailmassa n. 40 lasta), jota luonnehtii kasvun hidastuminen, lyhytkokoisuus ja poikkeavat kasvonpiirteet. Oireet voivat ilmaantua jo sikiövaiheessa tai heti syntymän jälkeen. Noin puolet oireyhtymään sairastuneista on kehitysvammaisia. Henkinen jälkeenjääneisyys on useimmiten lievää Dubowitzin oireyhtymän erikoispiirteitä ovat pienipäisyys, kallon saumojen ennenaikainen luutuminen, korkea otsa ja leveä nenänselkä, poikkeavat silmäkuopat, etäällä toisistaan olevat silmät ( hypertelorismi ) ja riippuluomet sekä luomirakojen ahtaus. Niinikään kasvojen, polvien ja kyynärpäiden syyhyävät punaiset ihoalueet ovat tavanomaisia. Ääni on erikoisen korkea tai käheä. Leuka on usein pienikokoinen ja nielu vajaakehittynyt. Muina oireina esiintyy mm. piilokiveksisyyttä, siittimen alahalkioita, valtimoiden poikkeavuuksia, peräaukon epämuodostumista ja lisäkilpirauhasen vajaatoimintaa. Lisäksi infektioalttius, uusiutuvat haavaiset suutulehdukset, lisääntynyt kasvainriski ja luuytimen vaurioituminen sekä valkosolujen niukkuus ovat osa taudinkuvaa.

Extractions: Recessive epidermolysis bullosa The recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa has the same cutaneous features of the dominant type. Skin manifestations Large, flaccid often-hemorrhagic bullae appear after birth or early in infancy. Mucous membrane manifestations Severe scarring of the mucous membranes of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and the condition may be fatal. Nail dystrophy is a common complication of the recessive type of epidermolysis bullosa. Secondary bacterial infection is common and causes more complications. In infancy, differentiation of epidermolysis bullosa from other bullous eruptions is rarely a problem. Benign chronic bullous disease of childhood may mimic inverse types of EB since the blistering occurs around the genitalia, perineum and buttocks. However, histology of these conditions is diagnostic and the presence of linear IgA on direct immunofluorescence may help to confirm the diagnosis. Dominant bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma.

Extractions: An intrauterine form of dwarfism characterized by proportional short stature, reduced circumference of the cranium, a characteristic bill-like protrusion of the central area of the face with microcephaly, prominent sometimes beaked nose, large ears, sparse hair, joint defects, clubfoot, trident hands, absence of some teeth, cloacalike malformation of genitourinary tract and rectum, mental retardation and sweet disposition. A small, simplified cerebrum resembles the chimpanzee brain (pongidoid microcephaly. There is a reduction in the number of blood cells. Both sexes affected; present at birth. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. There has been described a case in which all the features of the syndrome were present, but not the dwarfism. This could be an incomplete form or a variant of the syndrome. Seckel in 1960 described the disease picture on the basis of two cases he had studied in Chicago, as well as 13 cases of nanocephalic dwarfs reported in the literature over a 200-year period. Amongst the affected persons whom Seckel discussed was Caroline Crachami, whose skeleton now reposes in the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, London. Crachami, an exhibitionist known as the "Sicilian Fairy" was 49,5 cm i height when she died in 1824 at the age of nine years.

Print this article Email this article Page: Next Author/s: Term applied broadly to a number of conditions resulting in unusually short stature. While dwarfism is sometimes used to describe achondroplasia, a condition characterized by short stature and disproportionately short arms and legs, it is also used more broadly to refer to a variety of conditions resulting in unusually short stature in both children and adults. In some cases physical development may be disproportionate, as in achondroplasia, but in others the parts of the body develop proportionately. Short stature may be unaccompanied by other symptoms, or it may occur together with other problems, both physical and mental. Adult males under 5 ft (1.5 m) tall and females under 4 ft 8 in (1.4 m) are classified as short-statured. Children are considered unusually short if they fall below the third percentile of height for their age group. In 1992 there were about five million people of short stature (for their age) living in the United States, of which 40% were under the age of 21.
