New distinct lethal osteosclerotic bone dysplasia (Raine syndrome)

We report a third case of a rare neonatal lethal sclerotic bone disorder with distinct craniofacial anomalies and striking radiographic and hitherto undescribed histopathologic features. The remarkable similarity between our patient and 2 recently reported infants suggests strongly a distinct entity. We propose the term Raine syndrome as a convenient identification of this disorder. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
