[Larsen syndrome: report of a case]

ABSTRACT

Larsen syndrome is a rare disease with autosomal dominant inheritance, although both autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance has been reported. It is characterized by multiple joint dislocation, peculiar face, and vertebral anomalies. We are reporting a one-year-old boy with hips and knees dislocation, talipes equinovarus, hypertelorism, depressed nasal bridge, prominent forehead. We believe that our patient is a new case of Larsen syndrome
