Abstract
A newborn infant is described who had achondrogenesis, a lethal form of congenital chondrodystrophy characterized by extreme micromelia and a marked discrepancy between head and trunk size. Typical radiographic findings, including delayed or absent ossification of vertebral bodies, sacral and pubic bones, and characteristically shaped ilia, differentiate this condition from other lethal types of short-limbed dwarfism such as thanatophoric dwarfism and homozygous achondroplasia with which it has been previously confused.
