The combination of congenital skeletal abnormalities that occur in campomelic dysplasia (CD) were first noted by Spranger et al.‘and Maroteaux et al.* Bowing and angulation of the long bones is the most conspicuous feature of CD, and although syndromes with bent limbs constitute a heterogeneous group of disorders,) campomelic dysplasia is recognized as a single distinct entity with defined clinical feature~.~-~ Major diagnostic radiological features of CD include hypoplastic scapulae, bowed or angulated femora and tibiae, vertically narrow iliac wings and nonmineralized thoracic pedicles (FIG. I). No single feature is pathognomonic, but each of these appears with high frequency, and no other syndrome has this combination of features. Descriptions of “acampomelic” CD patients demonstrate that bowing of the limbs is not the cardinal feature of the Additional radiological features are facial hypoplasia, small chest, abnormal cervical vertebrae, slender ribs, eleven pairs of ribs, dislocated hips, a variety of pelvic abnormalities, and short first metacarpal. Common clinical features include micrognathia, macrocephaly, cleft palate, flat nasal bridge. low set ears, pretibial dimples, talipes equinovarus, and respiratory distress. Nonskeletal anomalies such as the absence of olfactory bulbs and tracts, dilatation of cerebral ventricles and a variety of cardiac and renal defects are also associated with the disease. Death usually occurs in the first week of life as a result of respiratory distress; however, the severity of the phenotype is variable and some patients survive into adult life.
