Pediatric Radiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We report the case of a 10-year-old boy with typical manifestation of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome.

Syringohydromyelia is considered to be a sequel to progressive basilar invagination and is one of the essential features of this rare osteolytic bone dysplasia.
