Abstract:
The rate skeletal disorder, acromesomelic dwarfism, is characterized by short stature and short limbs. Bone dysplasia is evident. We report two cases of a variation of this disorder in a Portuguese woman and her son. The clinical features of these two cases differ from those of cases previously reported in the literature.
