We describe a 22-month-old Japanese girl with severe microcephaly with a prominent nose and a receding chin, developmental delay, marked intrauterine and postnatal dwarfism with limb shortening and brachydactyly, and distinctive radiological changes of the skeleton. The radiological findings include hypoplasia of the short tubular bones, multiple pseudoepiphyses in the bases of the metacarpals, coxa valga, a wide pelvis with iliac flaring, thoracolumbar scoliosis, and disharmonious ossification delay. The clinical and radiological features are somewhat different from those of previously reported cases with osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism. The clinical and radiological manifestations of osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism are reviewed and compared with those in our patient.
