6. Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Congenita
A rare disorder called spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita dramatically affects bone growth, causing short stature, skeletal abnormalities, and potential visual or auditory problems. Physicians typically refer to this condition as SED or SDC. Typically, a child born with SED has a short torso, neck, and limbs while their hands and feet are of average size. SED affects many bones, placing people with the condition at risk of flattened vertebrae, spinal cord damage, and inward-turning leg bones.
