Abstract
We report a 5-year, 9-month-old boy with bilateral patellar hypoplasia . The radiographic skeletal survey revealed absent ossification of the ischium and inferior pubic ramus on both sides, characteristic of the newly recognized benign bone dysplasia known as small patella syndrom e, or ischiopatellar dysplasia, No nail change, iliac horn, elbow anom aly, or renal disease is associated with this condition.
