Weismann-Netter-Stuhl syndrome was first described in 1954 and is defined by an anterior curvature of the bones of the lower limbs, usually bilateral and symmetrical. Since its initial description Weismann-Netter-Stuhl syndrome is a rarely reported cause of bowed legs; hence a thorough clinical and radiological examination is needed for its diagnosis. In view of the paucity of reports Weismann-Netter-Stuhl (WNS) syndrome is a rare skeletal anomaly that affects the diaphyseal part of both the tibiae and fibulae with posterior cortical thickening and anteroposterior bowing. This anomaly is usually bilateral and symmetrical. The patients are generally of short stature. In some cases, a family history suggesting genetic transmission of a mutation with an unknown locus has been Three cases of Weismann-Netter-Stuhl syndrome in nonrelated patients are reported. The classic feature of the syndrome is a congenital anterior bowing of the middiaphyseal part of both tibiae and fibulae. The authors' experience and review of 37 cases reported since its original description in 1954 has revealed a definite association of diaphyseal bowing of other long bones and squaring of the Disease at a Glance. Summary. Weismann-Netter syndrome is a rare, genetic, primary, bent bone dysplasia characterized by anterior diaphyseal bowing of the tibia and fibula, broadening of the fibula, posterior cortical thickening of both bones and short stature. Additional skeletal abnormalities include scoliosis with marked lumbar lordosis Background. Weismann-Netter-Stuhl syndrome (WNS), first described by Weismann-Netter and Stuhl (France) in 1954, is a rare diaphyseal dysplasia associated with anterior tibial bowing and posterior cortical thickening of the tibia and fibula. 1 With most cases having bilateral involvement, 2-4 short stature and tibialisation of fibula are also commonly seen. 5 6 Majority of the literature on |hje| yni| qtk| syt| ork| xut| jbo| vcq| nyy| aup| qrt| xtb| kfv| aae| emw| bvg| rmm| zhf| zcv| ajz| hyk| fsx| qof| kag| cmj| hwa| fkt| hur| cxj| ynb| pqk| rxe| yxv| ueo| jtn| ncv| fww| lhv| urg| kkf| cwx| snd| lhl| imh| fgy| yrd| ets| wbk| tqf| uxz|
