Achondroplasia and lumber spinal stenosis: A Case report and review of literature

Achondroplasia is the most common non-lethal skeletal dysplasia. Its incidence is between 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 30,000; with half of the patients showing various neurological manifestations. We are presenting an interesting case of a 26 year old lady with short stature, who presented with acute pain in the front of the thigh for three months. Plain x-rays showed platyspondylosis with developmental anomalies of the posterior neural arch/dysplasia. MRI dorsolumbar spine showed congenital stenosis in this area. The stenosis was more pronounced at L2-3 .She was treated with L2-3 laminectomy and discectomy. On follow-up, she was symptom free with no residual neurological damage.
