Abstract
Stuve-Wiedemann syndrome (SWS) is, at last, beginning to emerge from t he shadows of campomelic syndrome as a nosologically and, presumably, causally-distinct entity, first delineated in 1971 on the basis of 2 a ffected sisters. The fact that these sisters had an affected double fi rst cousin supports autosomal-recessive inheritance of SWS. (C) 1996 W iley-Liss, Inc.
