A2 - Sunshine, Philip PY - 2015 T2 - Neonatology: Clinical Practice and Procedures AB - Evaluation of a newborn with short limbs is often an urgent challenge for the pediatrician and the neonatologist because of the importance of recognizing lethal neonatal skeletal dysplasias, the ability to provide adequate medical management in nonlethal neonatal skeletal dysplasias, and the ability to provide adequate prognostic information to the family during the stages of the initial evaluation. Sometimes, the diagnosis is evident based on physical examination of the newborn, but more often combined information from prenatal ultrasounds, physical examination of the newborn, and skeletal radiographs and other imaging studies is needed to establish a definitive diagnosis.
