From: Overcoming the barriers to diagnosis of Morquio A syndrome
Radiographic evidence of Morquio A syndrome in a three-year-old female Morquio A patient (a-c). The pelvic radiograph (a) shows steep acetabulum with tapering ilium distally. Capital femoral epiphyseal dysplasia is noted. The lateral image of the thoracolumbar spine (b) shows uniform platyspondly with mild middle beaking. The image of the hand (c) shows strikingly short metacarpals with proximal coning and convergence toward centrally and phalanges that retain diaphyseal constriction. The distal radius and ulna inclined on their planes towards each other.
