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)
  • Acroosteolysis
  • Clavicular resorption
  • Coxa valga
  • Extraskeletal soft tissue calcifications
