RESUMEN
Es importante saber reconocer a las displasias esqueléticas como un grupo heterogéneo de patologías, cuya clasificación es bastante extensa y presenta limitaciones. Por lo anterior, es muy importante obtener mediciones antropométricas y un estudio esquelético completo para poder delinear adecuadamente el fenotipo, y así identificar el grupo diagnóstico al cual pertenece cada paciente y, en lo posible, establecer el diagnóstico. El diagnóstico de los casos que no pertenecen a las patologías más conocidas y comunes, como el grupo de la acondroplasia, presenta desafíos mayores y requiere de un enfrentamiento diagnóstico multidisciplinario.
ABSTRACT
It is important to recognize skeletal dysplasia as a heterogeneous group of conditions with many classifications all of which have shortcomings. In consequence, it is very important to obtain anthropometric measurements and a complete skeletal work-up so as to properly establish phenotype. Once this is done patients can be assigned to diagnostic groups and diagnosis may be established. Diagnosing conditions that do not belong to the more common and well known diseases such as achondroplasia is more challenging and requires a multi-disciplinary approach.
