Abstract

A sporadic case of multisynostotic osteodysgenesis is reported in a 15-day-old female infant with urogenital abnormalities. The main radiological findings were craniosynostosis, radiohumeral synostosis, femoral bowing and fractures. The typical combination of clinical and radiologic findings allow the ready recognition of this syndrome. Seven earlier cases have been reported, five sporadic and one familial; in two sisters.
