This paper presents a novel but simple approach to the compression of auricular swelling in the setting of diastrophic dysplasia, using conforming molds with the goal of preventing permanent deformity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The retrospective follow-up of the four previous pregnancies and of the present one with affected fetuses disclosed that two mothers had had vaginal bleeding, two lymphedema, one abdominal pains, and one mother had had polyhydramnios.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The thickness of the joint cartilage was diminished and signs of early osteoarthritis, including bone cysts and localedema, were common. The ligamentum teres was visible in only 24% of patients, suggesting abnormality of the ligamentous structures.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Diastrophic dysplasia (DD), a congenital skeletal dysplasia, is characterized by short, disproportionatestature, multiple severe spinal and joint deformities, and normal mental status.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The typical malocclusion traits were crowding, lateral crossbite, and open bite, which we assumed to result from reduced growth potential of the dental arches.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The level of oral hygiene was evaluated with caries (DMF) and periodontal (GBI) indices. Cleft palate was recorded in 56% and hypodontia (excluding third molars) in 31% of the patients. Dental age was retarded.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, according to reports in the literature, other affected infants and children may experience hearingimpairment due to such auditory canal stenosis or abnormal fusion or absence of the three tiny bones (auditory ossicles) in the middle ear that[rarediseases.org]
Hearingimpairment not usual (it is related to fusion of ossicles). Some patients present deformities of larynx and upper airways (laryngo and tracheomalacia). They can develop severe respiratory insufficiency.[peachynay.tripod.com]
Patients at risk for skeletaldysplasia could benefit from the enhancements of ultrasound techniques. An early diagnosis of diastrophic dysplasia can be reached at the and of the first trimester of pregnancy, using TVS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All patients also had muscularatrophy and degenerative-like facet joint hypertrophy. The severity of these changes increased with age.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Most people with diastrophic dysplasia have averageintelligence and a normal life expectancy and can expect to lead productive lives. All A to Z dictionary entries are regularly reviewed by KidsHealth medical experts.[kidshealth.org]
The SRS-24 yielded 92 (79-103) points for the brace treatment and 93 (73-114) points for the surgical group, respectively. CONCLUSION: Brace treatment does not prevent progression of the spinal deformity in patients with DD.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prenatal diagnosis of this condition allowed a more realistic interpretation of the prognosis, and of the couple's reproductive future.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis In the absence of severe complications (spinal cord compression) associated with spinal malformations, life expectancy is good but the short stature and deformity are usually severe.[orpha.net]

Abstract Patients with diastrophic dysplasia have walking difficulties of obscure etiology; some are even wheelchair-bound.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology The syndrome is caused by mutations in the SLC26A2 (or diastrophic dysplasia sulfate transporter; DTDST ) gene (5q31-q34), which encodes a sulfate transporter that is predominantly expressed in the cartilage.[orpha.net]
