Acquired Hyperostosis Syndrome (9)
Syndrome consisting of synovitis, acne, palmoplantar pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO). The most common site of the disease is the upper anterior chest wall, characterized by predominantly osteosclerotic lesions, hyperostosis, and arthritis of the adjacent joints. The association of sterile inflammatory bone lesions and neutrophilic skin eruptions is indicative of this syndrome. Synonyms SAPHO Syndrome OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.800_bd_dbd_ocdys_ahs
Chondrodysplasia Punctata (15)
A heterogeneous group of bone dysplasias, the common character of which is stippling of the epiphyses in infancy. The group includes a severe autosomal recessive form (CHONDRODYSPLASIA PUNCTATA, RHIZOMELIC), an autosomal dominant form (Conradi-Hunermann syndrome), and a milder X-linked form. Metabolic defects associated with impaired peroxisomes are present only in the rhizomelic form. OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.195_bd_dbd_ocdys_cp
Cleidocranial Dysplasia (7)
A rare autosomal dominant condition in which there is defective ossification of the cranial bones with large fontanels and delayed closing of the sutures, complete or partial absence of the clavicles, wide pubic symphysis, short middle phalanges of the fifth fingers, and dental and vertebral anomalies. OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.207_bd_dbd_ocdys_cd
Congenital Cortical Hyperostosis (10)
Synonyms Caffey De Toni Silvermann Syndrome A disease of young infants characterized by soft tissue swellings over the affected bones, fever, and irritability, and marked by periods of remission and exacerbation. OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.479_bd_dbd_ocdys_cch
Ellis Van Creveld Syndrom (6)
Dwarfism occurring in association with defective development of skin, hair, and teeth, polydactyly, and defect of the cardiac septum. OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.327_bd_dbd_ocdys_evc
Enchondromatosis (11)
Benign growths of cartilage in the metaphyses of several bones. OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.338_bd_dbd_ocdys_ec
Fibrous Dysplasia of Bone (40)
A disease of bone marked by thinning of the cortex and replacement of bone marrow by gritty fibrous tissue containing bony spicules, producing pain, disability, and gradually increasing deformity. Only one bone may be involved (FIBROUS DYSPLASIA, MONOSTOTIC) or several (FIBROUS DYSPLASIA, POLYOSTOTIC). OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.375_bd_dbd_ocdys_fd
Langer Giedion Syndrome (8)
Autosomal dominant disorder characterized by cone-shaped epiphyses in the hands and multiple cartilaginous exostoses. Mental retardation and abnormalities of chromosome 8 are often present. The exostoses in this syndrome appear identical to those of hereditary multiple exostoses Synonyms Acrodysplasia V Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Type II Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome with Exostoses OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.582_bd_dbd_ocdys_lg
Mucopolysaccharidosis (2)
Group of lysosomal storage diseases each caused by an inherited deficiency of an enzyme involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). The diseases are progressive and often display a wide spectrum of clinical severity within one enzyme deficiency
OCOSH Code: C05.116.099.708.375_bd_dbd_ocdys_MPS
Osteochondroma (25)
A cartilage-capped benign tumor that often appears as a stalk on the surface of bone. It is probably a developmental malformation rather than a true neoplasm and is usually found in the metaphysis of the distal femur, proximal tibia, or proximal humerus. Osteochondroma is the most common of benign bone tumors. Synonyms Osteocartilaginous Exostosis Chondrosteoma OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.670_bd_dbd_ocdys_oc
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (36)
Autosomal dominant COLLAGEN DISEASES resulting from defective biosynthesis of COLLAGEN TYPE I and characterized by brittle, osteoporotic, and easily fractured bones. It may also present with blue sclerae, loose joints, and imperfect dentin formation. There are four major types, I-IV. Synonyms Fragilitas Ossium Lobstein's Disease Brittle Bones Disease OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.685_bd_dbd_ocdys_oi
Osteosclerosis (54)
An abnormal hardening or increased density of bone tissue. OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.702_bd_dbd_ocdys_os
Progressive Diaphyseal Dysplasia (13)
Progressive thickening of diaphyseal cortex of long bones Synonyms Camurati-Engelmann Syndrome, Engelmann Disease OCOSH Code C05.116.099.708.281_bd_dbd_ocdys_dd

Dysplasia Epiphysealis Hemimelica eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic628.htm

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH), or Trevor disease, is a rare developmental disorder affecting the epiphyses in young children. The first report of DEH in the literature was by Mouchet and Belt in 1926, who described the condition as a tarsal bone disorder and used the term tarsomegalie. In 1950, Trevor...

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF SPINAL DEFORMITIES IN THE SKELETAL DYSPLASIAS What is skeletal dysplasia? The term skeletal dysplasia refers to a "bad formation" of the bones and joints. All the bones of the skeleton are affected: this differs from a skeletal dysostosis, in which a group of bones are affected while the...

Streeter Dysplasia eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic561.htm

Streeter dysplasia is a term used to describe a complex disorder characterized by constricting rings, acrosyndactyly, or, often, amputations of the extremities of neonates. It is analogous to constriction band or amniotic band syndrome (ABS), which was recognized as early as 300 BC. Hippocrates suggested that extrinsic pressures from a...
