<h5>To the Editor</h5> Scapuloiliac dysostosis (pelvis‐shoulder dysplasia, OMIM 169550) is a rare and apparently heterogeneous focal skeletal dysostosis. Only 6 cases have been documented in the literature [Kosenow et al., 1970 ; Thomas et al., 1977 ; Walbaum et al., 1982 ; Blane et al., 1984 ; Hauser et al., 1998 ] (see Table I ). The major features comprise hypoplasia of the ilia, acetabula and scapulae, lumbar lordosis, and congenital hip dislocation. Ophthalmological abnormalities have been described in two cases, and include microphthalmia, coloboma of the iris or optic nerve, ectopic pupil and corneal clouding. Other variable features include spina bifida occulta, abnormal external ears, rib abnormalities, digital abnormalities and hypoplasia of the fibulae. The syndrome of pelvis‐shoulder dysplasia with epiphyseal changes, facial abnormalities and rhizomelic short stature, described in the offspring of consanguineous parents [Cousin et al., 1982 ], probably represents a distinct autosomal recessive syndrome.
