Abstract
Two brothers are described with identical features of short-limbed dwarfism, normal face, hands and feet, respiratory difficulties and mild scoliosis. It proved impossible to offer a definitive diagnosis, though radiological features as a whole bore similarities to those of metatropic dwarfism, with the most notable fearure the narrowing of the ossified components of the vertebral bodies.Keywords
