Smith-Magenis Syndrome
Skeletal malformations often involve the spine, especially lordosis (front-to-back spine curvature) and scoliosis (sideway spine curvature). … Other signs may be: Abnormal spine curvature (scoliosis and lordosis) Short stature Raucous voice Considerable reduction of pain and temperature sensitivity Vision problems … Key features can involve other body parts, like spine (scoliosis and lordosis), kidney, the immune system, and frequent episodes of peripheral neuropathy like decreased sensitivity[2]

Hypochondroplasia
Lordosis
Numerous features can accompany short stature - macrocephaly, a prominent forehead, brachydactyly involving both the hands and the feet, lumbar lordosis, and a limited range[3]
-
Iniencephaly
The spine is severely distorted as well along with significant shortening due to marked lordosis. … nervous system (CNS) and anatomic structures of the fetus can be clearly visualized and the characteristic malformations of iniencephaly, such as a shortened trunk, marked lordosis[4]
-
Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita
Curvature of the spine (kyphoscoliosis and lordosis) progresses during childhood and can cause problems with breathing.[5]
-
Pseudoachondroplasia
Lordosis
Brachydactyly, a knock knee, lumbar lordosis, scoliosis, ulnar deviation of the hands are other notable signs of this genetic disease.[6]
-
Coxa Vara
If there is a bilateral involvement the child might have a waddling gait or trendelenburg gait with an increased lumbar lordosis.[7]
-
Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome
All other etiological factors such as spinal lordosis and body casts also cause the characteristic anatomic defect of SMA. … SMA syndrome can be prevented by avoiding body casts which aggravate lumbar lordosis or distort the abdominal shape and structure. … Other risk factors of SMA syndrome include laxity of the abdominal wall, lordosis, and use of body casts, hence SMA syndrome is also called cast syndrome.[8]
-
Lumbar Compression Fracture
In the elderly, multiple fractures over a period of time lead to decrease in height and stature with subsequent paraspinal muscle shortening, lumbar lordosis, and thoracic[9]

Aspartylglucosaminuria
Additional musculoskeletal (thickening of the ribs and skull, lordosis, vertebral dysplasia, contractures in fingers and elbows, a knock knee, muscle atrophy and hypotonia[10]
