Massive spinal­ischial dysplasia and extensive spinal dyssygmentation in a Tunisian child with severe form of Cleidocranial dysplasia

Kyphoscoliosis is a complication of some bone dysplasias, including Cleido-cranial dysplasia (CCD). We report on massive spinal dysplasia secondary to severe spinal dyssygmentation associated with marked defective ossification of the ischium, detected in a Tunisian female child with a severe form of Cleido-cranial dysplasia.
