| Dysplastic cortical hyperostosis Kozlowski Tsuruta type is a form of rare dysplastic cortical hyperostosis characterized by narrow chest, short limbs with generalized, symmetrical cortical thickening throughout the skeleton, particularly in the long bones and ribs. Additional features may include sclerotic metacarpals and metatarsals with proximal tapering and mild sclerosis of the pelvis. No cortical thickening was reported in skull or mandible. Size of the hands and feet are normal. Microcephaly, abnormal lung segmentation, hepatosplenomegaly, poorly developed cerebral sulci and complete renal duplication has been observed. It is a lethal condition associated to severe fetal hydrops and polyhydramnios. |
