Congenital hypertrichosis, cardiomegaly, and osteochondrodysplasia (Cantú syndrome): a new case with unusual radiological findings

Am J Med Genet. 2000 May 29;92(3):191-4.

Abstract

We report on a new case of a syndrome first described by Cantú et al. [1982: Hum Genet 60:36-41] comprising congenital hypertrichosis, "coarse" facial appearance, and mild osteochondrodysplasia. Our case has some unusual radiological findings, namely proximal and distal megaepiphyses of long bones and advanced bone age.
