Article Synopsis
- Maroteaux-Lamy disease (MPS Type VI) is a rare genetic disorder that leads to various skeletal deformities, necessitating early diagnosis for better patient management and outcomes.
- In a study of 15 patients aged 6 to 58, diverse clinical presentations included hip deformities and cervical cord compression, with treatments including stem cell transplants and enzyme replacement therapy.
- The findings highlighted challenges in accurately diagnosing this condition due to inadequate documentation, missed diagnostic cues in imaging, and limited understanding of skeletal dysplasia, underlining the need for better education among healthcare providers.
