Abstract

Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) is a peroxisomal disordercharacterized by typical facial appearances, congenital contractures, ocularinvolvement, proximal shortening of the extremities, punctate calcifications incartilage with epiphyseal and metaphyseal abnormalities, clefts of the vertebralbodies and mental retardation. Diagnosis is usually made based on clinical andradiological criteria. Peroxisomal functions, such as the red blood cell concentrationof plasmalogenes and the plasma concentrations of phytanic acid and very longchain fatty acids are biochemical indicators of RCDP. In this article, we presenttwo cases of the rare disorder RCDP manifested as proximal limb shortening,punctuate calcifications of the cartilage, vertebral clefts, cataracts and hypotonia.In conclusion, cases with dysmorphic facial appearances, proximal shortening ofthe extremities, and contractures should be considered RCDP. Furthermore, directX-Ray findings can contribute to the diagnosis. (The Jo ur nal of Cur rent Pe di at rics2014;2:127-30)

Özet

Rizomelik kondrodisplasiya punktata (RKP) tipik yüz görünümü, konjenitalkontraktürler, oküler etkilenme, ekstremitelerin proksimalinde kısalık, epifizyalve metafizyal anormallikler ile kıkırdakta noktasal kalsifikasyonlar, vertebracisimlerinde yarıklar ve zeka geriliği ile karakterize peroksizomal bir hastalıktır.Tanı klinik ve radyolojik bulgular ile konulmaktadır. Eritrosit plazmolojendüzeyleri, plazma fitanik asit ve çok uzun zincirli yağ asit düzeyleri gibiperoksizomal fonksiyonlar RKP tanısının biyokimyasal belirteçleridir. Bu yazıda,proksimal ekstremite kısalığı, kıkırdakta noktasal kalsifikasyonlar, vertebrayarıkları, katarakt ve hipotoni ile bulgu veren RKP tanısı almış iki nadir olguyusunuyoruz. Sonuç olarak, dismorfik yüz görünümü, proksimal ekstremite kısalığıve kontraktürleri olan olgularda RKP düşünülmelidir. Ayrıca, bu olgularda direktgrafi bulguları tanıya katkı sağlayacaktır.
