Abstract

Larsen syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, with an incidence of 1/100,000. Joint hypermobility, congenital joint dislocations, spinal deformity and distinctive facial features are characteristic findings in the newborns. Congenital orthopedics pathology is rare with this syndrome. Herein we present a case with Larsen syndrome and discuss it with a brief review of the literature

Larsen Sendromu: Yenidoğan Döneminde Literatür Eşliğinde Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Larsen Sendromu 100.000 de bir görülen nadir bir genetik hastalıktır. Yenidoğan döneminde karakteristik olarak eklem hipermobilitesi, konjenital eklem dislokasyonları, spinal deformite ve belirleyici yüz görünümü mevcuttur. Bu sendroma az görülen konjenital ortopedik patolojiler eşlik eder. Bu çalışmada Larsen sendromlu bir olguyu literatür eşliğinde tartışarak sunmaktayız

Keywords

• Konjenital Eklem Dislokasyonları, Larsen Sendromu
