Are there any serious medical concerns associated with a diagnosis of a skeletal dysplasia?
There may be. It is important to learn as much as possible about the condition and establish a good relationship with your family physician and a skeletal dysplasia clinic. Some potential complications, such as retinal detachment and back problems, can be prevented if caught in time. Please see the detailed medical write-ups we have on the SED and SMD and Kniest family of conditions and what potential complications to be aware of.
