S pondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) is a hereditary skeletal dysplasia caused by genes involved in bone growth and cartilage maintenance. The platyspondyly and the enlarged long bones characterize the disease due to abnormal enchondral ossification in the vertebral bodies and proximal epiphyses of long bones. These abnormalities and deformities lead to disproportionate dwarfism and expose patients to premature osteoarthritis in multiple joints. The major clinical importance of this rare disorder is its similarity to juvenile idiopathic arthritis, which has different prognosis and treatment. Clinical characteristics, typical radiological findings, dysmorphic features, and absence of synovial inflammation can aid in the exact diagnosis. 1 A few cases of SEDT have been described in the literature. We report clinical and radiological findings of a Moroccan adolescent with SEDT as the diagnosis.
