Growth patterns of young achondroplasia patients in Korea and predictability of neurosurgical procedures

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold> Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder mainly affecting bony growth, typically resulting in markedly short stature. From a neurosurgical viewpoint, patients sometimes develop spinal cord compression at the narrowed foramen magnum and hydrocephalus.
