Abstract
We report a baby with severe micromelic dwarfism characterized by severe sh ortening of the humeri, femora and tibiae with hypoplastic radii, ulnae and fibulae which are of normal shape. We suggest that this case is similar to the case reported by Baxova et al [(1993), Paediatr Radiol 23:446-449] con firming the identity of this nem bone dysplasia. Clin Dysmorphol 10: 25-28 (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
