An elderly man who presented with severe kyphoscoliosis and congestive heart failure is described. The latter was treated in a standard manner, and he improved accordingly. Radiologic investigations of his obvious cranial and skeletal abnormalities revealed cleidocranial dysplasia. The characteristics and diagnosis of this rare autosomal dominant disorder are discussed.
