[Case report of Ito-syndrome associated with congenital hemihypertrophy from the orthopaedic point of view].
We report on the orthopaedic treatment of a patient with the very rare Ito syndrome and congenital hemihypertrophy. The leading symptom is the lamellar depigmentation of the skin for which it is synonymously called incontinantia pigmenti acromians. Further anomalies are found in the central nervous system, as well as the ocular and the musculoskeletal systems. The treatment of the hemihypertrophy and the coexistent dysplasia of the hip with a combination of intertrochanteric shortening osteotomy and a triple osteotomy are specified and further methods are discussed.
