A rare occipital epilepsy syndrome with onset most commonly between four and seventeen years (mean eleven years; range one to fifty years). Seizures are triggered by photic stimuli such as flickering sunlight. Focal sensory visual seizures which may evolve to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures are mandatory for the diagnosis. Focal sensory visual semiology includes coloured spots, formed visual hallucinations, or visual blurring/loss that moves across the visual field. There is associated head and eye version. Seizures may progress to a cephalic sensation (including headache), autonomic epigastric sensation or vomiting, and impaired awareness or to a focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure. Seizures are typically brief (less than three minutes), although prolonged seizures may occur. Development and cognition are typically normal. Neurological examination is normal. The background electroencephalogram (EEG) activity is normal. Occipital epileptiform abnormalities facilitated by eye closure and intermittent photic stimulation are seen. Epileptiform activity is elicited by sleep deprivation and by sleep. MRI is normal or has nonspecific findings. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)

A rare primary bone dysplasia characterised by the association of osteopathia striata (longitudinal striations through most of the long bones) with a macular, hyperpigmented dermopathy and a white forelock. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia characterised by the association of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, generalised joint laxity, and dentinogenesis imperfecta. Main skeletal abnormalities comprise short stature, narrow chest, scoliosis, mesomelic limb shortening, and brachydactyly. Radiographic features include severe metaphyseal irregularities of the tubular bones, platyspondyly with coronal clefts, cone-shaped epiphyses of the hands, square iliac wings, and coxa valga. Additional extraskeletal manifestations like pulmonary hypoplasia, cystic renal disease, and non-obstructive hydrocephalus have also been reported. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia disorder characterised by a bell-shaped thorax, disproportionate short stature, pelvic hypoplasia, dislocatable radial heads and elongated distal fibulae. No acetabular spurs nor phalangeal cone-shaped epiphyses are present, and osseous manifestations tend to normalise with age. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1988. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia disorder characterised by brachymesophalangy with mesomelic short limbs, and carpal and tarsal bone abnormalities. In general, the affected individuals are of slightly short stature and normal intelligence. The syndrome has been described in a kindred with seven affected members from three generations. Transmission appears to be autosomal dominant. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia disorder characterised by normal birth length with early postnatal growth deficiency resulting in severe disproportionate short stature (with short trunk and limbs), severe genu varum, flexion contractures in the hips and lumbar hyperlordosis. Radiological findings reveal platyspondyly with central indentation of vertebral endplates, progressive and severe epimetaphyseal abnormalities that primarily affect the lower limbs and include very small, irregular proximal femoral and knee epiphyses, severe coxa vara, delayed ossification of proximal femoral epiphyses, and irregular distal femoral and proximal tibial metaphyses. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia disorder characterised by short stature with severe shortening of limbs, genu vara deformity and enlarged joints with movement limitation particularly affecting the hip joints. Radiological findings show coxa vara, generalised metaphyseal irregularities of the tubular bones (including cupping, fraying and splaying), which are more severe in the femur and forearm bones than the metacarpals and phalanges and vertebral abnormalities including ovoid vertebral bodies with anterior rectangular protrusions and severe platyspondyly. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia disorder with characteristics of infantile-onset, progressive, multiple skeletal deformities in association with slowly progressive central and peripheral neurodegeneration. Patients present short stature, coarse facies, psychomotor regression and cognitive impairment. Imaging shows abnormally shaped vertebral bodies, small, flat epiphyses, and widened metaphyses, as well as cerebral and cerebellar atrophy and progressive axonal-hypomyelinating neuropathy. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia due to matrilin-3 variants and characterised by disproportionate early-onset dwarfism, bowing of the lower limbs, short, wide and stocky long bones with severe epiphyseal and metaphyseal changes, lumbar lordosis, hypoplastic iliac bones, flat ovoid vertebral bodies and normal hands. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia with characteristics of cone-shaped epiphyses of the phalanges, hyperextensibility and hyper-flexibility of the fingers and marked delay in ossification of hand bones. Short-limbed short stature, very stubby, short fingers and toes, flat face and nose and a large skull may also be associated. There have been no further descriptions in the literature since 1980. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia with decreased bone density disorder characterised by multiple doughnut-shaped hyperostotic or osteosclerotic calvarial lesions (manifesting with cranial lumps) associated with numerous pathologic fractures, elevated serum alkaline phosphatase levels and osteopenia. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia with increased bone density characterised by lethal neonatal dwarfism with hydrops. Cortical thickening throughout the skeleton, particularly in the long bones and ribs, brachycephaly, severe brachydactyly and craniofacial abnormalities are reported. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia with increased bone density characterised by slowly progressive endosteal hyperostosis and osteosclerosis exclusively of the skull base and the calvaria, resulting in entrapment and dysfunction of cranial nerves I, II, V, VII, and VIII. First symptoms often appear during the second decade of life and include disturbances in smell, vision, facial sensation and expression, hearing, and balance, as well as headaches due to increased ocular and intracranial pressure. After the fourth decade, radiological progression is minimal, although decreased intracranial volume can lead to death in severe cases. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary bone dysplasia with multiple joint dislocations characterised by stunted stature, articular hypermobility and spinal malalignment resulting in severe progressive kyphosis. Joint dislocations include bilateral dislocation of the radial heads with elbow contractures, feet (bilateral talipes equinovarus) and congenital dislocations of the hip and genu valgus. Joint laxity is particularly observed in fingers. Spinal changes include moderate platyspondyly with anterior projection of the vertebral bodies. Facial features of oval face with a flattened nasal bridge, button nose, long upper lip, prominent eyes and blue sclera are characteristic but variable. Patients may also present mild skin extensibility, spatulate terminal phalanges, lip and palate clefts, micrognathia and structural cardiac malformations. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare primary congenital hypothyroidism characterised by a markedly reduced T4/T3 ratio, normal levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, and a highly variable clinical phenotype, which most commonly includes decreased metabolic rate, bradycardia, chronic constipation, neurodevelopmental delay, and delayed bone age and skeletal abnormalities.
