The spinal disorders in diastrophic dwarfism
JA Herring
Of seven patients with diastrophic dwarfism, all had cervical spina bifida
occulta. Two had cervical kyphosis, which was severe in one. Scoliosis was
present in five patients and was always progressive. Lumbar lordosis was
seen in all seven patients and was not progressive.
