What Is Stromme Syndrome?
5. Skeletal
Stromme syndrome can also lead to problems with the patients skeleton. One example is hip dysplasia. This is a condition in which the bone of the hip socket does not cover the ball of the upper thigh bone. This means that dislocation of the joint is very easy, and dislocations can be very painful for patients.
Metopic craniosynostosis can also occur, which leaves the patient with a ridge at the front of their head. A sternal cleft is also a possibility, while some patients will have platyspondyly (flattened vertebrae). Some of these conditions are operable to help restore some of their quality of life.
