HELP! Bone age reading unusual

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We had Emerence's bone age done and she has caught up to her

chronological age.

The endo we have also read her bone age last year and noticed

something " unusual " (ie something she had never seen before).

Emerence has pseudoepiphyses of the metacarpals (at the base).

Apparently this is a sign of primordial dwarfism, of which RSS is

one form. But since Dr. H is going with SGA do SGA kids have this

too?? Apparently there are some more extraordinarily rare forms of

dwarfism that show this as well....

Anyone else know if their kids have this?

The endo has spoken to the head bone guy at Children's Hospital

Boston where we go but they haven't connected yet and she has to

scan the xray in for him to review. The fact she said he is " eager "

to see the xray makes me nervous....
