[Nail-patella syndrome. A case report and review of the literature].
We report on the case of a 36 year-old woman with nail-patella syndrome that was detected following a plain roentgenogram of the abdomen showing iliac horns. The nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is a hereditary disorder of tissues of ectodermal and mesodermal origin transmitted as an autosomal-dominant trait. Complete NPS is characterised by a series of skeletal disorders and specific nephropathy; in the recent years some other diseases associated with NPS were described, whereas many patients exist with incomplete NPS.
