SYNOPSIS A case of 7 year old Danish girl with spondylo‐metaphyseal dysplasia is reported. The disease is characterised clinically by shortening of stature and thoracic kyphosis. The radiographic pattern of the vertebral column, metaphyses and round bones of the hands and feet, is diagnostic in this syndrome. Degenerative bone changes supervene early in adult life.
