The peculiarities of the head growth disorder and transcranial blood flow in patients with achondroplasia

Mean circulation rate was determined in 15 patients with achondroplasia at the age of 8-28 years and in 31 normal subjects of the same age using the method of transcranial ultrasonic dopplerography. No growth retardation of the skull was found in the patients and also relatively high indices of the brain blood supply, which were typical of the children at the earlier age.
