Abstract

A 4 8/12 years old girl with micromelic type of spondylo-meta-epiphyseal dysplasia is described. The spondylo-meta-epiphyseal dysplasias of micromelic type present a group of diseases with versatile clinical and radiographic findings. Marked shortening of stature with generalised spondylo-meta-epiphyseal changes in radiographic examination are a constant finding. No biochemical changes were yet reported. The difficulties of early recognition and classification of these cases are stressed.
