Abstract
This report is concerned with a case of bizarre dwarfism associated with microcephalic idiocy and renal rickets. The child was born following irradiation of the maternal pelvis for a period of 5 mos. and died in the 13th yr. from an intercurrent infection. At autopsy extreme somato-psychic hypoplasia was seen. This is considered to have been the result of brain damage induced by the roentgen irradiation and renal rickets.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
