\"Baby rattle\" pelvis dysplasia

What is \"Baby rattle\" pelvis dysplasia?

\"Baby rattle\" pelvis dysplasia is a rare disease.

Cormier-Daire et al., (2001) reported a female infant with a form of bone dysplasia resembling achondrogenesis, but with distinctive radiological features. Ossification of all the vertebral bodies was absent and there was complete absence of ossified pedicles in sacral regions. The chest was bell-shaped with fractured, fused, and wavy ribs, elongated clavicles and irregular scapulae. The metaphyses of the long bones were widened and the diaphyses were short with a thick cortex. There was a bifid distal humerus bilaterally and there was a similar, but less obvious appearance to the distal end of the femurs. There was significant brachydactyly with unusually shaped tarsal bones. In the pelvis the ilia were tall and broad and the acetabular roofs hypoplastic. The sacrosciatic notches were absent and the appearance of each hemi-pelvis resembled a \"baby rattle\". The chondro-osseous morphology was very abnormal (see the original paper for a description of this).
The infant reported by Sharma, (2003) may be an example of this condition.
