They are a heterogeneous group of conditions that vary significantly in clinical severity, ranging from conditions that almost always cause death in utero or soon after to birth, to conditions resulting in short stature and chronic health complications that are not generally life limiting. This chapter presents an approach to the diagnosis and management of the skeletal dysplasias that commonly present in the neonatal period.
