• Weakness

  Affected males suffer from weak muscle tone, changes in the structure of the brain, moderate to severe delay in development, seizures, distinctive facial features, and other birth defects. [conradihunermannsyndrome.weebly.com]

• Saddle Nose

  The disorder recognized by Hünermann also included micromelia, a saddle nose deformity, flexion contractures, cataracts, and a dermopathy. [mhmedical.com]

  The severe form is characterised by marked congenital rhizomelic dwarfism, flexion contractures of large joints, small chest and saddle nose deformity. Asymmetrical limb shortening and kyphoscoliosis become prominent with age. [ijri.org]

• Failure to Thrive

  This is the only manifestation in most patients with HIDS, and, in the case of classical mevalonic aciduria, is part of a severe multisystemic disease, including malformations, severe failure to thrive and neurological abnormalities. [thieme-connect.com]

  All affected infants have severe failure to thrive, mental retardation, joint contractures, and cataracts. [mhmedical.com]

  Affected infants may fail to grow and gain weight at the rate expected for age and gender (failure to thrive). Growth deficiencies may ultimately result in a final adult height that is below normal (short stature). [rarediseases.org]

• Alopecia

  Scalp involvement results in patchy, scarring alopecia. [escholarship.org]

  Short stature in combination with ichthyosis or alopecia, cataracts, and limb shortening in an adult should prompt consideration of a diagnosis of CDPX2. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

  When examined, the mother had linear alopecia, said to have been present from birth. She also had ichthyosis during childhood and a difference in leg length for which she had undergone several orthopaedic corrections. [ntvg.nl]

  A 5-year-old girl presented for evaluation of ill-defined patches of cicatricial alopecia. In addition, subtle follicular atrophoderma, esotropia, craniofacial asymmetry and short stature were noted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Other cutaneous findings are follicular atrophoderma and patchy-patterned alopecia. [synapse.koreamed.org]

• Dry, Scaly Skin

  Management of the patient’s dry, scaly skin has included daily application of ammonium lactate 12 percent cream, ceramide-enriched emollients, and petrolatum ointment. [escholarship.org]

  The clinical features in the milder form are nonspecific like mongoloid face, snub nose, slanting of the eyes, short neck and trunk, cataract and mild skeletal deformities. Dwarfism is not severe. [ijri.org]

  Figure 1 Clinical photo taken at the age of 2 months showed short neck, and predominantly rhizomelic shortening of the upper and lower limbs. Note left femur more severely affected than the right. [hkjpaed.org]

  Such features have included abnormal calcifications and potential narrowing (stenosis) of the windpipe (trachea) and/or the larynx, which connects the throat and the trachea; an unusually short neck; abnormalities of the nails; various structural malformations [rarediseases.org]

• Wide Flat Nose

  Congenital (sectoral) cataract, midface hypoplasia, wide/flat nose, hypothelorism and structural brain anomalies with mental retardation can be present. Sometimes there is a linear alopecia. [ntvg.nl]

• Clitoromegaly

  Genitourinary lesions commonly present as hydronephrosis, cryptorchidism and clitoromegaly. Hydronephrosis can be diagnosed by renal ultrasound. Urology or gynecology referral should be made if any of these symptoms are found. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

• Dyslipidemia

  Since isotretinoin is associated with severe systemic side effects, eg, teratogenicity, hepatic dysfunction, dyslipidemia, visual changes, pseudotumor cerebri, etc, the risk/benefit ratio should be carefully weighed before initiating treatment. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Treatment progress The treatment was started after achieving the IJ stage, when the patient was 14 years and 10 months old. [cyberleninka.org]

Treatment - Conradi-Hunermann syndrome Treatment can involve operations to lengthen the leg bones, which involves many visits to the hospital. Other symptoms can be treated with medicine or surgery. [checkorphan.org]

Management and treatment Management is multidisciplinary. Treatment of skin lesions includes the use of emollients and keratolytics (i.e. ammonium lactate 12%, petrolatum ointment). [orpha.net]

Prognosis There is usually no effect on life-expectancy (rarely scoliosis can compromise cardiac and pulmonary function) but quality of life may be severely affected. [orpha.net]

There are also Standard interventions for congenital heart defects, kidney anomalies, and hearing loss Prognosis Typically life expectancy of female patients is not affected unless severe scoliosis has com promised lung and heart function. [conradihunermannsyndrome.weebly.com]

A possible role for homeobox-containing genes in the etiology of this type of chondrodysplasia punctata is suggested as an explanation for the coincidence of these two syndromes. [tandfonline.com]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

Etiology CDPX2 is caused by mutations in the gene encoding delta8-delta7-sterol isomerase emopamil-binding protein (EBP) at Xp11.23-p11.22. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Summary Epidemiology Annual incidence has been estimated to be at least 1/400,000 births with 95% of patients being female. Clinical description 'Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma is the typical neonatal manifestation. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology The molecular mechanism by which mutation of EBP gene causes this characteristic syndrome remains unknown. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Orthopedic measures, including surgery in severe cases, is recommended to help prevent or correct the skeletal abnormalities that are associated with the disorder (craniofacial malformations, scoliosis, etc.). [patientworthy.com]

The children’s physiatrist had prescribed semi-orthopedic anti-varus shoes with correction for her difference in leg length to stimulate her walking independently and prevent further feet deformities. [ntvg.nl]

To help, prevent, or correct certain skeletal malformation, orthopedic measures and surgeries are recommended. Also for craniofacial malformations, scoliosis or other physical abnormalities surgery might be advised. [conradihunermannsyndrome.weebly.com]
