A case of short rib polydactyly

Pediatrics. 1978 Mar;61(3):427-32. doi: 10.1542/peds.61.3.427.

Abstract

A patient with neonatal dwarfism had many characteristics of the Majewski syndrome, except for a cleft lip and abnormalities of internal organs. Absence of these anomalies and presence of more severe pathological changes in bone suggest either a wider spectrum for this disorder or a separate entity.
