The baby was a male rhizomelic dwarf weighing 2510 g. Radiographs confirmed the anomalies along with epiphyseal punctations that were noted in the femorae and spine. Radiographs showed rhizomelic limb shortening. The humeri and the femorae were short, dumb-bell shaped and flared at the metaphyses. Stippled epiphyseal calcifications were marked in the shoulders and hips and were also noted in the thoracic spine. The baby died on day 50. The parents refused an autopsy. A diagnosis of Chondrodysplasia punctata, rhizomelic  was made.
