[Cleido-cranial dysplasia: a family observation]

ABSTRACT

Cleido-cranial dysplasia is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia characterised by hypoplastic clavicles, macrocephaly with patent fontanelles, persistant open sutures, short stature and tooth anomalies.We report a family observation of two children, brother and sister respectively aged of 6 and 8 years. The wide coronal and lambdatic sutures, still open anterior fontanelle and the absence of right clavicle confirm the diagnosis of cleido-cranial dysplasia
