Abstract
We report a single case of Weill-Marchesani syndrome, typically charac terized by progressive joint stiffness, brachiymorphy, brachydactyly, and ectopia lentis. The clinical case appears particularly interesting as the patient also had primary osteoporosis, which until now has not been considered as a possible manifestation of Weill-Marchesani syndr ome.
