Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome (SSS) is an autosomal recessive condition which is characterized by short stature, a carpotarsal coalition and a vertebral fusion, but without any rib anomaly. We are presenting a 7- year- old boy, who had uroliathiasis with the spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome. This association, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported so far.
