Abstract
We report on a skeleton dating from the last century with a severe, strictly rhizomelic shortening of all four extremities and a deformed skull. To the best of our knowledge no similar skeletal findings have been described. We suggest that this individual suffered from a hitherto unreported form of skeletal dysplasia.
