Title: Unclassified Osteochondrodysplasia in a 21‐Year‐Old Woman
Abstract: Summary A 21‐year‐old woman with unusual bone changes is described. The disease may have been present at birth but only facial abnormalities were recognised in infancy. Later, bilateral hip dislocation and stunted growth became apparent. X‐ray examination during childhood showed microepiphyses of all the long bones, small round bones, dislocation of the hips and kyphoscoliosis. These changes showed little variability with growth. Unusual changes in the shape of the vertebral bodies took place during late childhood or adolescence. In the authors' opinion this is a previously undescribed type of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia or an allied disorder.
