Madelung deformity as a feature of the Leri-Layani-Weill syndrome or dyschondrosteosis.

Primary tabs

Sharif, K Saint-Martin, C Clapuyt, Philippe [UCL]

We report and discuss a case of a Madelung's deformity seen on a wrist roentgenogram of a young girl who is referred for short stature evaluation, which led to the diagnosis of Léri-Weill syndrome or dyschondrosteosis. The authors stress that it is possible to make an accurate diagnosis on a single standard roentgenogram, at low cost, if the different diagnostic criteria are known.
