fused cervical vertebrae
short neck
rare, recessive

(defect of abnormal regionalization)
Sacralized and Lumbarized Vertebrae (type of defect)
Patterning Defect (Hox genes)
Scoliosis
(type of defect)
abnormal lateral curve of the spine

(assymetry defect of the spine)
Kyphosis and Lordosis

type of defect
exaggeration of primary curves of the spine

(assymetry defect of the spine)
Dysraphism
failure of fusion of the neural arches, vertebral colum doesn't close....

Rachischisis-open spine (many vertebrae fai to fuse)

Spina Bififida (one or a few vertebrae fail to fuse)
mildest form of Dysraphism
Spina Bifida Occulta
most common site of accessary and fused ribs
lumbar region

(Acrania)
open cranium or open skull- absence of opening between calvaria bones..

absense of calvaria
Craniosynotosis
(Suture defect)
sutures close too early
skull assymetry
growth occurs parallel to closed suture
asociated with FGF Receptor 1 and 2 genes

worst form of Craniosynotosis
Apert's- acrocephalosyndactlyly
tall skull and fingers fused together
Micrcsephaly (specific)
small head
small calveria-normal size fact
Macrocephaly is due to
