platyspondylie
Platyspondylie is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by abnormally flattened vertebral bodies. In platyspondylie, the vertebral centra are significantly shorter in the anteroposterior diameter than normal, giving them a flattened or disc-like appearance on radiographic images. This condition affects the growth and development of the vertebrae, potentially leading to a variety of orthopedic and neurological complications.
The etiology of platyspondylie is often genetic, with several distinct subtypes identified, each associated with mutations
Diagnosis of platyspondylie is typically made through radiographic examination, including X-rays and CT scans, which reveal
