Clinical features

Thoracolaryngopelvic dysplasia is a short-rib dysplasia characterized by thoracic dystrophy, laryngeal stenosis and a small pelvis.

Epidemiology

Prevalence is unknown but less than 10 cases have been reported in the literature so far.

Signs and symptoms

  • Patients present with severe respiratory distress (requiring intubation) during the neonatal period.
  • The rib shortening is less severe than in Jeune syndrome and the thorax is characteristically small, narrow and bell-shaped.
  • The pelvis is reduced in all dimensions and the combination of the thorax anomalies and the small pelvis give the appearance of a protruding abdomen.
  • Subglottic stenosis has also been described but it remains unclear whether this is a congenital anomaly or is secondary to long-term intubation.
  • In addition, several cases of thoracopelvic dysostosis (without laryngeal involvement) have been described, which could represent heterogeneous expression of the same syndrome or a distinct entity.

Inheritance

Autosomal dominant

Diagnosis

Diagnosis is through a combination of history, physical examination, X-rays, CT and or MRI scans

Treatment
