Abstract:
A patient with Ellis-van Creveld (EvC) syndrome and bilateral duplication of the primary ulnar ossification center is presented. Abnormal ossification involving secondary ossification centers of the femur and tibia as well as duplication of primary ossification centers in the carpal bones are well described in EvC. No abnormality of ulnar ossification has been noted in patients with EvC or any other skeletal dysplasia. The occurrence of bilateral duplication of ulnar ossification centers extends the clinical findings of the EvC syndrome. The gap between the ossified areas could be misinterpreted as a fracture and thus lead to a suspicion of osteogenesis imperfecta prenatally or traumatic fracture postnatally.
