[Typical complications of short rib polydactyly syndrome].

Osteochondrodysplasias are hereditary dysfunctions of the enchondral ossification with a decreased longitudinal bone-growth. We describe the case of a female child which suffered from a short rib-polydactyly-syndrome, a localised form of a osteo-chondrodysplasia, and died at the age of nine months as a result of the typical complications of this disease.
