Abnormal ossification of the hyoid bone in cleidocranial dysplasia.
Radiographs of the hyoid region of 13 patients with cleidocranial dysplasia were reviewed. In all but one the hyoid bone was less ossified than normal. Delayed ossification, affecting the skull, the teeth, the pelvis and the extremities, is a known, frequent manifestation of this abnormality.
