Jeune syndrome, CT scans
Jeune syndrome. Coloured computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest of a 2 year old with Jeune syndrome, also known as asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy. This inherited disease affects the development of the bones and cartilage and causes the ribs to be smaller, and therefore the rib cage to be narrower, than normal. This doesn't allow the lungs to develop probably and prevents normal inhalation. It is often fatal in the early years and very few patients live into their teens

Spine in Hurler Syndrome, X-ray
Spine in Hurler Syndrome. Coloured X-ray of the spine of a 26-month-old child with Hurler syndrome (also called mucopolysaccharidosis type I, MPS I). This is a rare, inherited disorder that affects 1 in 115, 000 people. Hurler syndrome is caused by a defective enzyme that is unable to break down glycosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides). Glycosaminoglycans are large molecules normally found in the fluid lubricating the joints. If they are not broken down by the enzyme when entering the cells, they cause permanent cell damage that progressively hinders physical development, organ functioning and causes mental retardation. There is no known cure and individuals rarely live past the age of 10
