Abstract

We experienced a case of Thanatophoric dwarfism. A 1870 gm male neonate was born after 31 weeks gestation to a 33 years old gravida 1mother with polyhydramnios. On physical examination, he was noticed micromelic dwarfism, narrow thorax, and saddle nose. We confirmed this case by physical examination and X-ray study. A brief review of literatures were presented.
