Complete Bilateral Agenesis of the Ilium in a 7-Year-Old Ambulatory Girl
Bibliographic record
Abstract
STUDY DESIGN: A 7-year-old ambulatory girl with complete bilateral agenesis of the ilium is reported. OBJECTIVE: To document the clinical evolution and the spino-pelvic balance of a girl with bilateral agenesis of the ilium. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Scapuloiliac dysostosis is a rare focal skeletal dysplasia consisting in hypoplasia of ilium and scapula. METHODS: A 7-year-old girl with a short stature was referred to our clinic at 35 months of age for an asymptomatic lumbar hyperlordosis. She presented a waddling gait, and normal range of motion of her upper and lower limbs. The neurologic examination was within normal limits. RESULTS: Initial radiographs at 35 months of age showed complete bilateral agenesis of the ilium with preservation of the pubis, ischium, and sacrum, associated with a bilateral high hip dislocation. The lumbar lordosis and sacral slope were 89 degrees and 84 degrees, respectively. A radiographic skeletal survey also showed hypoplasia of both scapulae. At 7 years old, the girl was fully ambulatory, with a waddling gait and had no pain. The sacral slope and lumbar lordosis have increased to 97 degrees and 97 degrees, respectively. There was no evidence of spondylolisthesis. So far, the patient has required no treatment for her condition. CONCLUSION: This article reports a unique case of scapuloiliac dysostosis with complete bilateral agenesis of the ilium in an ambulatory girl. This case indicates that a functional gait is possible with bilateral congenital absence of the ilium, provided that there is adequate muscular support and normal neurologic function.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
