title: [Combination of rare anomalies of the cervical spine and peripheral skeleton].
abstract: This paper presents a case report on a 59-year old patient of small stature with moderate mental retardation, strabismus and several rare skeletal anomalies. We found an os odontoideum, a dysontogenetic 3fold fusion of cervical vertebrae, multiple double-sided wrist bone dysplasias and brachytelephalangical digiti pedis I, but no anomalies of the heart or genitals. Clinical signs, biochemical parameters and results of x-ray and ultrasonic examination are demonstrated in this complex malformation syndrome that combines different anomalies known from other syndromes.
