Cranio osteoarthropathy

Summary
Cranio osteoarthropathy syndrome is a rare form of osteoarthropathy seemingly distinct from pachydermoperiostosis. It has been described in only 4 children, 3 of them being sisters. The salient features are clinodactyly of the fingers, eczematous skin eruption, periosteal new bone formation, and defects of the cranial bones resulting in wide fontanelles. It is likely to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. *Author: Orphanet (October 2004)*.
