Abnormal Skeletal Phenotypes: From Simple Signs to Complex Diagnoses

By Bruno Dallapiccola and Alessandro Castriota-Scanderbeg

This book focuses on the radiographic changes of malformation syndromes and skeletal dysplasias. It is structured so that the reader can identify the radiographic changes and relate them to specific disease entities. The material is divided into two parts. Part I is structured in a symptom-oriented form and describes approximately 200 radiographic signs, providing information about their incidence, anatomic location, diagnostic relevance, pathogenesis, and pattern of inheritance, if applicable. Part II presents about 100 syndromes and skeletal dysplasias and provides analytical information concerning symptoms, genetics, causes, radiographic appearance, and major differential diagnosis.
