Mild cervical dysplasia, caused by HPV, is common in women aged 18-35 and may become cancerous. It is often asymptomatic and detected through Pap smear tests. Lifestyle changes can help prevent it from worsening, but in rare cases, surgery may be necessary. Mild cervical dysplasia is a condition in which a relatively small number of […]
Dentinal dysplasia is an inherited tooth disease affecting dentin, the largest portion of the tooth structure. Two types are recognized, with treatment options including regular dental care, fillings, and extractions. Genetic counseling may be necessary for families with a history of the condition. Dentinal dysplasia is an inherited tooth disease that involves the underlying dentin […]
Fibrous dysplasia is a bone disease caused by a genetic mutation that leads to the accumulation of scar tissue in bones, causing weakness and deformities. It can affect one or multiple bones and is diagnosed through imaging tests. Treatment includes medication and surgery. The bone disease fibrous dysplasia is characterized by the heavy accumulation of […]
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is a rare congenital disorder affecting hair, skin, sweat glands, teeth, body organs, and skeletal tissue. It mainly affects newborn boys but can also affect girls. Symptoms vary depending on whether the disorder is sex-linked or autosomal. Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome, Hermann Werner Siemens syndrome, and Rapp-Hodgkin syndrome belong to this group of conditions. […]
Diastrophic dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder that affects bone, cartilage, and connective tissues, causing dwarfism and joint damage. It is caused by a recessive gene and can be diagnosed prenatally. People with the disorder may have mobility issues and breathing difficulties, and are at risk during anesthesia. Support and advice are available for affected […]
Congenital hip dysplasia is a condition where the hip joint is less stable, leading to medical problems. It is more common in women and those of Native American, First Nations, and Lapland ancestry. The cause is unclear, but it may be linked to alterations in the hormone relaxin or genetics. Early detection is important, and […]
Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder that causes excessive calcium buildup in bones, leading to thickening and hardness. It can be fatal in infancy due to neurological complications, and treatment options are limited. The condition affects the skull and face, causing facial distortion and neurological symptoms such as blindness and paralysis. The rest of […]
Squamous dysplasia is the abnormal development of cells lining the cervix, often caused by HPV. It can lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. Treatment options include removal of affected tissue and may involve radiation and chemotherapy. Risk factors include smoking, multiple sexual partners, and compromised immunity. Squamous dysplasia, also known as cervical dysplasia, is […]
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SEDC) is a rare genetic condition that affects spinal formation and bone growth, leading to dwarfism. It may also cause impaired vision, decreased muscle tone, and spinal curvature. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms, and corrective surgical procedures may be used. Individuals with SEDC should receive adequate support, exercise, and a proper diet. Infants […]
Dysplasia is abnormal cell growth that can indicate cancer. It is most common in the cervix and can be detected early with regular screenings. Fibrous dysplasia weakens bones, while diastrophic dysplasia is a rare congenital disorder with various symptoms. Dysplasia is characterized by abnormal growth of cells of a certain tissue and in some cases […]
Campomelic dysplasia is a rare genetic disorder that affects the skeletal and reproductive systems, causing visible symptoms such as dislocated hips, shorter legs, and ambiguous genitalia. It is often fatal in infancy and there is no standard treatment available. Campomelic dysplasia is a rare but often fatal genetic disorder that interferes with the normal development […]
Thanatophoric dysplasia is a fatal skeletal anomaly caused by a de novo mutation in the FGFR3 gene, resulting in dysfunctional bone growth. Physical signs include shortened limbs, a narrow trunk, and macrocephaly. Babies with this disorder typically die within hours of being born, and even with aggressive treatment, survival is rare. Thanatophoric dysplasia is a […]
Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia is an inherited disease that causes abnormal growth of long bones, leading to joint pain, inflammation, and malformations. Treatment aims to relieve pain and prevent further joint damage, with options including pain relievers, physical therapy, and surgery. Most affected individuals can lead normal lives. Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) is an inherited disease […]
Bone dysplasia is a condition characterized by abnormal bone growth, often caused by genetic disorders or growth hormone disturbances. Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are two common forms affecting children. Treatment options are limited, with hormonal drugs and surgical limb lengthening being the most common. Complications can include back pain, numbness in limbs, joint pain, and hearing […]
Moderate dysplasia is abnormal growth of cells on the cervix caused by HPV. It is usually detected through Pap smears and can lead to cervical cancer if left untreated. Treatment options include laser therapy, cryotherapy, LEEP, and cone biopsy. Moderate dysplasia is a medical term that refers to the abnormal growth of cells on the […]
Dysplasia refers to abnormal physical development, often used to describe cellular abnormalities that can lead to cervical cancer. Severe dysplasia is a precursor to cervical cancer and can be triggered by human papillomavirus. Diagnosis involves a Pap smear and treatment may involve removing tissue samples or excess skin cells. The term dysplasia refers to any […]
