Abstract

Campomelic dysplasia is a rare, often lethal congenital osteochondrodysplasias associated with skeletal malformations and sex-reversal. The term “campomelia” derives from Greek, meaning bent or curved limb. The incidence of campomelic dysplasia is reported to be 0.05–0.9 per 10,000 births.
