Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia is a rare genetic cause of skeletal dysplasia. Patients usually present skeletal abnormalities but no major visceral malformations or intellectual disability. We report a case of a 2-year-old male patient with short stature, progressive and waddling gait. Radiographic findings were essential to guide investigation and molecular confirmation, allowing proper treatment and genetic counseling.
施密德干骺端软骨发育不良是骨骼发育异常的一种罕见遗传病因。患者通常表现出骨骼异常,但无重大内脏畸形或智力残疾。我们报告一例2岁男性患者,其身材矮小,步态逐渐加重且呈摇摆状。影像学检查结果对于指导调查和分子确诊至关重要,有助于进行适当治疗和遗传咨询。
