Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia (also known as CDD or lionitis) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive bone disorder that causes calcium to build up in the skull disfiguring the facial features and reducing life expectancy.These calcium deposits decrease the size of cranial foramina and can also decrease the hole in the cervical spinal canal. In the few cases recorded most of the sufferers died in childhood.The underlying genetics are uncertain.
