Abstract
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a rare syndrome of premature aging with multiple skeletal abnormalities. We report one case. The literature is reviewed. Characteristics of 30 patients with radiological records are pre sented. Pronounced acro-osteolysis, osteolysis of the clavicle are the main features. Modern imaging is useful to diagnose the complications.
