Kyphomelic dysplasia (KMD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by bowing of the limbs, primarily affecting the femurs. Affected individuals also exhibit short stature, short and wide iliac wings, horizontal acetabular roof, platyspondyly, and metaphyseal flaring. Distinctive facial features have been observed, including prominent forehead, micrognathia, microstomia, cleft palate, and low-set ears (Singh et al., 2025).

- Disease or Syndrome
Transient neonatal hyperparathyroidism (HRPTTN) is characterized by interference with placental maternal-fetal calcium transport, causing fetal calcium deficiency resulting in hyperparathyroidism and metabolic bone disease. Because 80% of calcium is transferred during the third trimester, abnormalities may not be detected on second-trimester ultrasounds. Affected infants present at birth with prenatal fractures, shortened ribs, and bowing of long bones, as well as respiratory and feeding difficulties. Postnatal recovery or improvement is observed once calcium is provided orally, with most patients showing complete resolution of skeletal abnormalities by 2 years of age (Suzuki et al., 2018).
