title: [Osteochondrodysplasia: nosologic assessment and report of 6 clinical cases].
abstract: Osteochondrodysplasias represent an important group of disease affecting cartilage and/or bone. The clinical evidence of disarmoniuous low stature, of a disproportion between trunk and limbs length, of a big skull can suggest this diagnosis and the necessity to carry out all the instrumental investigations. The diagnostic suspect can be placed, some time, already in the neonatal period. The complexity of problems regarding the osteochondrodysplasias bearer child and his family requires a multidisciplinary approach. The Authors present a personal experience of six cases of osteochondrodysplasias observed in a period of fifteen years.
