Abstract

Progressive pseudorheumatoid chondrodysplasia is a rare hereditary disorder. This autosomal recessive condition is characterised by progressive arthropathy and platyspondyly. The symptoms are similar to those of rheumatoid arthritis but synovitis is absent. In this study a patient with inherited progressive pseudorheumatoid chondrodysplasia is presented.
