Abstract
Two cases of dyssegmental dysplasia, a rare lethal skeletal dysplasia in the newborn, are reported. Two different forms of dyssegmental dysplasia can be distinguished — the lethal Silverman type and the less severe Rolland-Desbuquois type. In this report, both cases are of the Silverman type. Histopathology of chondro-osseous tissue confirms the similarity in pathologic findings to Kniest dysplasia.
