What syndrome do you see a "cloverleaf" skull and straight femurs?
Thanatophoric dysplaia type II

(short limbs, platospondyly, flared metaphyses of long bones, short ileac bones; curved femur vs type 2 with straight femur)
What type of OI is the most severe form?
Type II --> death during newborn period due to resp insuff
What type of OI do you see neuro complications?
Type III
- hydrocephalus
- basilar skull invgination
- presents in newborn with numerous fx
- used to be called progressively deformting type
- short stature is sever
- blue scleara at birth - lighten with age
- COLIA1 point mutation
What is the hallmark of Type IV OI and what are the classic sclearl findings?
** Tibial bowing
** scleara are ususally white or near white
- COLIA2 point mutation
What are the classic findings in a patient with Marfan Syndrome?
** high arched palate
** dislocataed lens
** pectus carinatum or excavatum
** MVP
What is the most common cause of death in a Marfan syndrome patient?
** Cardiac complications
** aortic root dilation and rupture
** annual or semi-annual echos
How do you diagnosis Marfan?
- gene test FBN1
* Clinical findings:
- no 1st degree relative 2 major and 1 minor (3 organ systems)
- 1st degree relative, 1 major and 1 minor (2 organ systems)
What disorder should you rule out that has many features similar to Marfan syndrome?
Homocystineuria
- check for absence of homocystine in urine
What are the classic findings in a patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?
** hyperextensible skin
* hypermobile joints - large and small joints
* easy brusing - norm coags but abnorm capillary fragility testing
* dystrophic scaring - thin and shiny, pseudotumros at elbows, heels and knees from scarring
** classic skin findings: texture of wet chamois or fine sponge, extra skin over hands, feet, stomach, very stretchy skin but fragile with splitting, skin with fish mouth appearance at tear
- MVP and proximal aortic dilitation
What is the most common neurocutaneous disease that affects 1/2000?
Neurofibromatosis type 1
(formally von Recklinghausen disease)
How do you diagnosis NFT?
2 of 7:
** ≧ 6 cafe-au-lait > 0.5 cm diameter in prepubertal and > 1.5 cm in post-pubertal
- ≧ neurofibromas of any type of 1 plexiform or neurofibroma
- freckling in axiallary or inguinal areas
- optic glioma
*** ≧ 2 Lisch nodules (iris hartomas 75% of prepubescent)
- sphenoid dysplasia or thinning long bone cortax
- 1st degree relative with NFT type 1
What are the classic skin findings in NFT type 1
** cafe-au-lait
- benign cutaneous neurofibromas
How does NFT appear in a population in > 50% of cases?
** 60% sporadic or de novo AD mutation

- chromo 17
How does NFT type 2 different form NFT type 1?
** b/l vestiblualr schwannomas = acoustic neuromas --> hearning loss, tinnitus, imbalance, facial weakness
- AD, chromo 22
- avg age of presentation is 30
What are the skin findings tuberous sclerosis?
** Ash-leave hypopigmented macules (90% of cases) - wood's lamp
** Shagreen patches
- facial angoimas
- forehead plaques
- ungual and gingival fibromas
- polycystic kidney disease (TSC2 - chromo 16)
What cardiac tumors are common in infants with TS?
** Cardiac rhabdomyomas (50%)
What are the 2 major management areas in patients with TS?
** seizures - infantile spasms (tx: vigabatrin)
** cardaic arrhythmias assoiciated with cardiac rhadomyomas
What tumors are common seen in patients with von Hippel-Landau sundrome?
** hemangioblastomas
- classic is cerebellar hemangioblastomas in adolescence or retinal angioma by age 10
- benign and malignant tumors of yes, CNS, kidneys (renal cell ca presents in 40s and leading cause of mortality ~40%), pancreas, adrenal and reproductive adrenal glands
How do you Dx von Hippel-Landau sundrome?
** 2 ore more hemangioblastomas in the CNS (cerebellum) or retina
** OR -- 1 single hemangioblastomas with either:
- pheochromocytomas
- endolymphatic sac tumor
- cyst in kidney/pancreas
- renal cell Ca
- pancrease invlvment, neuroendocirne tumor
** OR -- 1st degree relative and and 1 manifestation
How is von Hippel-Landau sundrome inherrited?
- AD, highly penetrant
- VHL gene mutation - tumor suppressor gene on chromo 3
