Abstract

Osteocraniosplenic syndrome-hypomineralized skull with gracile long bones and splenic hypoplasia: a case report and literature review: We report herein an intrauterine growth-restricted preterm nwonate with a lethal bone dysplasia characterized by severe hypomineralization of the skull, absent medullary lucency flared metaphyses fishbone-like diaphysis and overtubulated long vones. Dysmorphic features included flat facies, bulging forehead, vevus flammeus, depressed nasas bridge, short philtrum, inverted U-shape mouth, mild micrometic dwarfism, and brachydactyly. The infant's lungs and spleen were hypoplastic. The findings are compatible with the 19 previously reported cases that used different terminology: osteocraniostenosis, gracile bone disorders and osteocraniosplenic syndrome. We present the clinical, pathological and cytogenetic findings of this rare disorder.
