ABSTRACT
We describe a rare case of unilateral development of coxa vara secondary to metaphyseal dysostosis encountered in a 6-year-old boy. Family history and radiographic documentation revealed a 31-year-old father with a typical clinical history. Proximal femoral intertrochanteric valgus osteotomy and a revision cup [Allofit] have been performed for the child and his father respectively

We report the case of a girl-child who manifested the clinicoradiographic features of pseudorheumatoid arthritis. 3D-CT scan of the craniocervical junction showed distinctive features of dystopic type of os odontoideum. The report highlights the necessity to explore the craniocervical junction in patients with progressive pseudorheumatoid arthropathy

We report on a-6-months-old girl who manifested the phenotypic features of focal dermal hypoplasia. Significant limb deformities in connection with typical skin changes were documented. The family history had a high frequency of spontaneous abortions and male stillbirths. Male stillbirths are a landmark in favour of X-linked dominant pattern of inheritance. Despite the severe hand/foot deformities, the skull base and the tubular bones were sclerotic
