Description

A very rare form of ''mesomelic dysplasia'' with ''normal or relatively long fibula'', mild micrognathia, symmetrical brachymetatarsals (IV-V), is described in a 6-year-old female. This supports the concept that this entity is separate from types of same osteo-dysplasia. The radiological differential diagnosis from ''dyschondrosteosis'' is discussed. (orig.)
