We report a male neonate with craniofacial dysmorphic features, multiple congenital anomalies and an unusual form of chondrodysplasia punctata. Radiographic examination revealed punctate epiphyses and coronal clefting of the thoracic spine. The hand radiographs showed some similarities to the brachytelephalangic type of chondrodysplasia punctata. However, the disorder did not fit well with any known entity of chondrodysplasia punctata or other condition characterized by punctate epiphyses.

D002806 Chondrodysplasia Punctata A heterogeneous group of bone dysplasias, the common character of which is stippling of the epiphyses in infancy. The group includes a severe autosomal recessive form (CHONDRODYSPLASIA PUNCTATA, RHIZOMELIC), an autosomal dominant form (Conradi-Hunermann syndrome), and a milder X-linked form. Metabolic defects associated with impaired peroxisomes are present only in the rhizomelic form.
