Özet
A Hajdu-Cheney syndrome is a very rare congenital dysplastic bone disease including acroosteolysis, short stature, characteristic facies, osteopenia, abnormalities of spine, skull and long bones. A 9 year-old boy presented at our clinic with a chief complaint of short stature and frequent lower respiratory tract infections. He had typical physical and radiographic features of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome associated with growth hormone (GH) deficiency and peripheral motor neuropathy. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing GH deficiency and neuropathy in Hajdu-Cheney syndrome.
