Abstract
Brothers [2] with congenital bowling and short broad bones are discussed. In this apprently new familial bowing syndrome, the rhizomelic portions of the limbs are more severely involved, particularly the femora. In early infancy the metaphyses are moderately flared and irregular, but these improve dramatically during childhood. Clinical abnormalities are limited primarily to the thorax. Prognosis appears good except for the persisting disproportionately short stature. These 2 patients may resemble 1 or both patients reported under the label or short-limbed campomelic syndrome, normocephalic type.
