The 20 Best Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita Doctors in Moldavia

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED) congenita is a disorder of bone development that causes short stature with a particularly short torso and short arms and legs. The parts of the body are not proportional to one another (disproportionate short stature) in people with this condition. Affected individuals typically have hands and feet that are of average size. SED congenita affects the bones of the spine (spondylo-) and the ends (epiphyses) of the long bones in the arms and legs. People with this condition also have problems with vision and hearing. The word "congenita" indicates that the condition is often noticeable at birth. The signs and symptoms of SED congenita can vary among affected individuals.
