Abstract

Chondrodysplasia punctata is a term referring to a clinically heterogeneous group of bone and cartilage dysplasias which cause characteristic epiphyseal stippling. The condition can involve the ear, nose and throat in diverse ways at many levels. We present a case of X-linked brachytelephalangic chondrodysplasia punctata, which illustrates the features of this condition particularly relevant to the audiological physician, otolaryngologist and neonatologist.
