Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and findings are acroosteolysis and clavicular resorption.
X Ray
- An x-ray may be helpful in the follow up of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) patients.
- After the diagnosis of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is made annual Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans are recommended for the assessment of bone mineral density in the patients of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).
- The following are the X-ray findings associated with Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS)[1][2][3]
- Acroosteolysis
- Clavicular resorption
- Coxa valga
- Extraskeletal soft tissue calcifications
