Abstract
A very rare form of “mesomelic dysplasia” with “normal or relatively long fibula”, mild micrognathia, symmetrical brachymetatarsals (IV–V), is described in a 6-year-old female. This supports the concept that this entity is separate from types of same osteo-dysplasia. The radiological differential diagnosis from “dyschondrosteosis” is discussed.
