Cureus. 2024 Jan 1;16(1):e51437. doi: 10.7759/cureus.51437. eCollection 2024 Jan.

Abstract

Scott-Taor syndrome is a benign bone dysplasia with less than 50 cases reported. The latter is an autosomal dominant disease characterized mainly by patellar a/hypoplasia and bilateral malunion ossification of the ischiopubic junction, a wide gap between the first and second toes. The diagnosis is clinical and radiographical. Here, we present a 17-year-old female patient with this rare syndrome. Considering this diagnosis is crucial for a better understanding of the pathology and to effectively contextualize the patient's clinical findings.

Keywords: coxopodopatellar syndrome; ischiopatellar dysplasia; scott-taor syndrome; small patella syndrome; tbx4 gene.
