title: A case of progressive scoliosis in a patient with craniocleidopelvic dysostosis.
abstract: The authors describe a case of craniocleidopelvic dysostosis in a patient with progressive scoliosis. They attribute the pathogenesis of the vertebral deformity to imbalance of the shoulder girdle muscles and dysplasia of the vertebral metameres. They agree with the majority of authors in regarding craniocleidopelvic dysostosis as a specific clinical manifestation of a complex hereditary syndrome.
