[Familial idiopathic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and atopic dermatitis (Currarino's disease)].
METHODS
Two brothers with a Currarino's disease are reported. Patients characteristics included a dysmorphic syndrome, cranial suture defects, hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and severe chronic eczema.


CONCLUSIONS
Consanguinity of parents suggests an autosomal recessive inheritance.


CONCLUSIONS
Currarino's disease is a rare unknown constitutional syndrome. The age of beginning of the disease, the cranial suture defects and the chronic eczema allow to distinguish it from the others primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathies.
