Thoracolumbar spine lateral views from three cases positive for MPS 4A screening (Case 1–3), one case positive for MPS I, and one case positive for ML III at ages 1–1.5 months. Abnormal findings in MPS 4A patients include incomplete fusion of the rostral and caudal halves of the vertebrae (black arrows), and ‘bone within bone’ appearance (white arrows); these findings are not seen in the MPS I or ML III patients. The images were rescaled and flipped for easy comparison
