Growth abnormalities in genetic syndromes.

The presence of a growth abnormality may be documented by determination of growth velocity, calculation of the upper segment/lower segment ratio or the AF/AT ratio, and measurement of head circumference. Important considerations in differential diagnosis of specific malformation syndromes are birth weight, limb and truck alterations, head size, physical features, and presence or absence of mental retardation. Additional clinical measurements, such as measurement of chest circumference and of finger and hand length, may be useful in selected cases. These data, combined with historical information, can indicate a specific diagnosis and facilitate the choice of confirmatory laboratory studies.

Campomelic dwarfism.

The campomelic syndrome is a short-limb, usually fatal, neonatal dwarfism. It is characterized by bowed lower limbs, especially the tibia, usually associated with a cutaneous dimple over the anterior skin. There is delayed calcification of the epiphyses and delayed mineralization of the spine and pelvis. The cartilages of the tracheobronchial tree are hypoplastic, contributing to death from respiratory problems. Other associated abnormalities are unusual appearing facies, cleft palate, absent olfactory nerves and talipes equinovarus. Less commonly seen are cardiac, renal and brain anomalies.
