Seckel Syndrome to birth (intrauterine growth retardation) resulting in low birth weight. Growthdelays continue after birth (postnatal) resulting in short stature (dwarfism. http://www.bchealthguide.org/kbase/nord/nord491.htm
Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Seckel Syndrome is an extremely rare inherited disorder characterized by growth delays prior to birth (intrauterine growth retardation) resulting in low birth weight. Growth delays continue after birth (postnatal) resulting in short stature (dwarfism). Other symptoms and physical features associated with Seckel Syndrome include an abnormally small head (microcephaly); varying degrees of mental retardation; and/or unusual characteristic facial features including "beak-like" protrusion of the nose. Other facial features may include abnormally large eyes, a narrow face, malformed ears, and/or an unusually small jaw (micrognathia). In addition, some affected infants may exhibit permanent fixation of the fifth fingers in a bent position (clinodactyly), malformation (dysplasia) of the hips, dislocation of a bone in the forearm (radial dislocation), and/or other physical abnormalities. Seckel Syndrome is thought to be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait.

Other characters Dwarfism, In harmonic dwarfism neuroradiological interest is focused particularly on hypopituitarism and MR imaging of the sellar region is suggested as specific anomalies may be identified. Other items of neuroradiological interest are coeliac sprue precocious puberty and Cushings syndrome , the cause of which again may reside in identifiable hypothalamic/hypophyseal pathology. In disharmonic dwarfism, he diagnosis can often be established by clinical phenotypic features. Among the causes of disharmonic dwarfism, achondroplasia presents particular features that merit neuroradiological investigation and these are discussed in their specific sections (see achondroplasia ).

An intrauterine form of dwarfism characterized by proportional short stature, reduced circumference of the cranium, a characteristic bill-like protrusion of the central area of the face with microcephaly, prominent sometimes beaked nose, large ears, sparse hair, joint defects, clubfoot, trident hands, absence of some teeth, cloacalike malformation of genitourinary tract and rectum, mental retardation and sweet disposition. A small, simplified cerebrum resembles the chimpanzee brain (pongidoid microcephaly. There is a reduction in the number of blood cells. Both sexes affected; present at birth. Inheritance is autosomal recessive. There has been described a case in which all the features of the syndrome were present, but not the dwarfism. This could be an incomplete form or a variant of the syndrome.

Gale Encyclopedia Of Childhood And Adolescence Dwarfism Environmental factors that influence intrauterine growth include maternal use ofdrugs The four most common causes of dwarfism in children are achondroplasia http://www.findarticles.com/g2602/0002/2602000208/p1/article.jhtml
Extractions: Print friendly Tell a friend Find subscription deals While dwarfism is sometimes used to describe achondroplasia, a condition characterized by short stature and disproportionately short arms and legs, it is also used more broadly to refer to a variety of conditions resulting in unusually short stature in both children and adults. In some cases physical development may be disproportionate, as in achondroplasia, but in others the parts of the body develop proportionately. Short stature may be unaccompanied by other symptoms, or it may occur together with other problems, both physical and mental. Adult males under 5 ft (1.5 m) tall and females under 4 ft 8 in (1.4 m) are classified as short-statured. Children are considered unusually short if they fall below the third percentile of height for their age group. In 1992 there were about five million people of short stature (for their age) living in the United States, of which 40% were under the age of 21. Some prenatal factors known to contribute to growth retardation include a variety of maternal health problems, including toxemia, kidney and heart disease, infections such as
