Samenvatting

Chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP) is a heterogeneous condition mainly characterized by premature and ectopic calcification of cartilage. Many genetic and nongenetic causes have been described leading to a preliminar etiological classification into defects of peroxisomal metabolism, defects in cholesterol metabolism, and vitamin K (vit K) metabolism. However, numerous cases of CDP still remain unclassified. The difficulties in reaching a causal diagnosis are illustrated here by a 23-week-old fetus with nonrhizomelic CDP characterized by extensive cartilage stippling, brachyphalangy, and nasal hypoplasia.
