Abstract

A report is given on a 10 year old girl with dwarfism, disturbances of metaphyseal ossification, which were localised especially in the distal metaphyses of the long bones and metaphyses of the tubular bones; the biochemical tests were normal. This girl shoewed similar radiographic changes as patients described by Vaandrager and Pena. In the authors' opinion it is a new entity, different from all hitherto known well-defined types of metaphyseal dysplasia. The eponyme Vaandrager-Pena is proposed for this rare but well defined type of metaphyseal dysplasia.
