Crispy bone syndrome, as the name suggests, refers to the incomplete development of bones, which are very fragile and break like glass when poured over. Just like the glass figures we saw on TV before, if you accidentally bump into them, your bones will shatter. Osteoporosis is congenital and comes out of the mother's body. So how do we know about baby's brittle bone disease? Follow the editor to learn more.
How do I know if my baby has brittle bone disease
For prenatal care, we can use ultrasound examination, radiological examination, and genetic analysis of amniotic fluid and villi. Ultrasound examination is a commonly used method because it does not cause harm to the human body. According to the ultrasound examination, the symptoms of brittle bone syndrome include: thin skull, deep sulci, and no ventricular dilation. The fetal spine is arranged neatly, the chest is asymmetrical, the limbs are thick and short, and the bone structure is blurred. It has many symptoms and is easy to diagnose.
How to treat baby's brittle bone disease
There is no special treatment method, mainly to prevent fractures. It is necessary to strictly protect the child, but also to prevent complications of long-term bed rest. 50% to 70% of sick children have spinal protrusion deformities, which can be protected by stents. If scoliosis exceeds 60 °, spinal fusion surgery should be performed after correction. For those with severe bone fragility, vigorous activity should be avoided to prevent fractures. Intramedullary needles should be inserted into the long tubular bone marrow cavity to prevent fractures. For those with severe bone deformities, surgical correction should be performed. The efficacy of drug treatment with calcitonin is more reliable. So treatment is necessary when the condition is severe, and there should be an idea of early detection for this disease.
There are many ways to know about baby's brittle bone disease, and now technologically advanced babies can diagnose some of their illnesses while in their mother's womb. Therefore, mothers with brittle bone disease should pay attention, protect them well, and provide medication treatment to prevent serious consequences.
