Mucopolysaccharidosis: Clinical and Radiological Aspects

Abstract

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) refers to a group of genetic disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of mucopolysaccharides secondary to deficiencies in specific enzymes. It produces characteristic skeletal abnormalities collectively termed as “dysostosis multiplex”. Here we describe a young female child with classical radiological features of MPS on plain radiographs. JMS 2012;15(1):54-56.
