S ummary In comparing two patients with typical Netherton s syndrome it was noticed that one patient was dwarfed while the other had a transient growth abnormality. A consequent review of 32 other patients revealed 12 with abnormal growth patterns. It is suggested that dwarfism should be considered to be an additional characteristic of this syndrome.
