Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type I (TRPS I) is characterized by a bulbous nose, sparse hair and epiphyseal coning. Autosomal dominant and recessive transmission are suggested. The presence of cone-shaped epiphyses, the major complaint of patients due to swelling over the phalangeal joints, requires differential diagnosis among various syndromes. This paper, describing a ten-year-old girl with TRPS I, aims to bring the features of the syndrome to medical attention.
I型毛发-鼻-指骨综合征(TRPS I)的特征为鼻球样肥大、毛发稀疏和骨骺锥形改变。提示为常染色体显性和隐性遗传。锥形骨骺的存在是患者因指关节肿胀而产生的主要症状,这需要在各种综合征中进行鉴别诊断。本文描述了一名患有TRPS I的10岁女孩,旨在使该综合征的特征引起医学关注。
