Dysplasia epiphysialis hemimelica (DEH), also known as Trevor’s disease, is a rare developmental bone disease which typically involves the epiphyseal cartilage of the lower extremities. The disease is characterized by abnormal overgrowth which may lead to progressive limb deformity and gait dysfunction. Imaging is crucial in the diagnosis and the appearance maybe confused with other musculoskeletal dysplasias. This exhibit will review the pathogenesis of DEH and highlight the characteristic imaging features using multiple modalities. Read More
