[Radioclinical aspects of tibio-tibial diaphyseal toxo-pachyosteosis. Weismann-Netter and Stuhl disease. Two new cases (author's transl)].

The authors report two cases of individuals sufferring from bow-leggedness, which they attribute to tibio-fibular thoxo-pachyosteosis. On the basis of these new cases, they review the radioclinical characteristics of the diagnosis of Weismann-Netter and Stuhl tibio-fibular toxo-pachy-osteosis. This dysmorphic syndrome is usually familial, very likely of genetic origin, and characterised by the small stature of those affected with curving of the tibia and fibula with an anterior convexity and thickening of the posterior cortex of the bony diaphysis. This clinical and radiological individuality permits its differential diagnosis from rickets and congenital syphilis, with which it was long confused. This dysmorphy causes no problems and therefore requires no general treatment.
