ABSTRACT
Dysplasia epiphysealis captitis femoris is a rare syndrome which after the hip joing in childhood. Pedersen(1960) was the first to differentiate dysplasia epiphysealis capitis femoris(DECF) from Perthes' disease. Scattered reports of this entity have appeared, and in 1964 Meyer defined the syndrome through explanation of its clinical and radiological characteristics. There is a clinical significance that DECF is clinical-radiologic syndrome which resemble Perthes' disease but has important differences, especially in its treatment and prognosis, We experienced two cases of DECF which are misdiagnosed as Perthes' disease. Therefore, pediatricians should keep in mind the possibility of the DECR among the Perthes' disease of younger children.
