THE WEISMANN-NETTER, STUHL SYNDROME - A RARE PEDIATRIC SKELETAL DYSPLASIA

A 5-year-old girl presented with lower limb deformities, delayed ambul ation, short stature, facial dysmorphism and scoliosis. Radiologic exa mination showed severe anterior and external bowing of the femurs and anterior and internal bowing of the tibia and fibula, with posterior a nd medial cortical thickening. Square iliac wings, horizontal sacrum a nd low-set L5 were also seen. The diagnosis of Weismann-Netter, Stuhl syndrome was established with the exclusion of abnormalities in minera l and vitamin D metabolism. This rare skeletal dysplasia should be inc luded in the radiologic differential diagnosis of congenital deformiti es of the lower extremities.
