Petite yet fierce - Ramblings of a pathologically information hungry mother about hypochondroplasia, about rearing 3 girls in a foreign country and about all the random thoughts my sleep deprived and over-stimulated brain can come up with.

Radiographic images to diagnose hypochondroplasia
The International Skeletal Dysplasia Registry has created an atlas which includes some of the most common skeletal dysplasias and x-rays per age group. This is gold. Search by diagnosis.

Pre-natal diagnosis
I have been wanting to post this link for a while now and just remembered it...
I have written about our ordeal before, about how we were told at 35 weeks that Fi would have a skeletal dysplasia for sure. Which could be mild to lethal and there was no way knowing. I knew that such a vague "diagnosis" at 35 weeks couldn't be right, so I contacted the incredible Dr Philippe Jeanty... His pre-natal diagnosis was spot on and he asked for our permission to publish our images so other sonographers in the world could learn. You can see the ultrasound and Day 1 x-ray images here
He is an amazing doctor, totally in love with his profession and runs s weekly quiz of difficult cases and sonographers all over the world try to solve them.
