title: Humero-spinal dysostosis: report of the fourth case with emphasis on generalized skeletal involvement, abnormal craniofacial features, and mitral valve thickening.
abstract: The fourth reported case of humero-spinal dysostosis is notable in that (a) it confirms the unique combination of bifid distal humeri and coronal clefts, (b) involves a third unique feature as being mitral valve thickening. (c) suggests a more generalized involvement of bone in the form of a dysplasia, and (d) raises the possibility of repetitive craniofacial features.
