Dr Sameya Shahnawaz, Kalsoom Bibi, Dr Bismah Akhtar

Objective: To observe the achondroplasia and lumbar spinal stenosis. Place and Time of Study: Jinnah hospital, Lahore in 2018. Methodology: Achondroplasia is the most well-known non-deadly skeletal dysplasia. Its frequency is between 1 of every 10,000 to 1 out of 30,000; with half of the patients appearing neurological indications. We are exhibiting an intriguing instance of a multiyear old woman with short stature, who gave intense torment in the front of the thigh for a quarter of a year. Plain x-beams indicated platyspondylosis with formative oddities of the back neural curve/dysplasia. X-ray dorsolumbar spine demonstrated intrinsic stenosis around there. The stenosis was progressively articulated at L2-3. She was treated with L2-3 laminectomy and discectomy. On development, she was sans manifestation with no lingering neurological harm. Keywords: Achondroplasia; Backache; Lumbar Spinal Stenosis.
