Study Notes
Skull and Bone Development
- Cloverleaf skull (Kleeblattschädel) results from premature closure of cranial sutures, affecting brain growth through fontanelles.
- Lumbar ribs are typically insignificant; cervical ribs may compress brachial plexus or subclavian vessels, potentially causing upper limb anesthesia.
- Hypochondroplasia is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia, milder than achondroplasia, linked to mutations in FGFR3 affecting endochondral bone formation.
Defects in Sternum
- Cleft sternum arises from midline fusion of sternal bars, leading to inadequate protection of the heart and major vessels.
- Pectus excavatum features a concave sternum, creating a hollow chest appearance.
Fibrous Joints and Development
- Fibrous joints, such as skull sutures, are formed from interzone regions.
- Bone age assessment is crucial in pediatric radiology for evaluating maturation through ossification centers in hands and wrists.
Limb and Skin Development
- Limb malformations can affect various regions, leading to complete limb, hand, or foot defects.
- The lower limb rotates medially by 90 degrees during development, positioning the extensor muscles on the anterior surface.
Skin Structure and Disorders
- Skin is the body's largest organ, composed of the epidermis (derived from ectoderm) and dermis (developed from mesenchyme).
- Vitiligo results from autoimmune-induced melanocyte loss, causing patchy skin pigmentation and is associated with thyroid diseases.
Keratinization and Hair Disorders
- Ichthyosis is characterized by excessive skin keratinization and typically inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
- Hypertrichosis involves abnormal hairiness, with excessive hair follicles, while atrichia denotes congenital hair absence, often linked to ectodermal abnormalities.
Abnormalities and Conditions
- Polymastia is the development of a complete breast from mammary line remnants.
- Inverted nipples occur when lactiferous ducts remain in the epithelial pit without everted change.
Key Takeaways
- Understanding the implications of skeletal dysplasias and developmental abnormalities is critical for early diagnosis and management.
- Knowledge of skin development and keratinization processes is essential in recognizing and treating dermatological disorders.
