Achondroplasia can lead to several complications, including: - Foramen magnum stenosis, which can compress the spinal cord. - Hydrocephalus, or the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. - Obstructive sleep apnea due to midface hypoplasia. - Recurrent ear infections which can result in hearing loss. - Spinal stenosis, contributing to back pain and potential nerve damage.
