Cloverleaf skull with generalised bone dysplasia. Report of a case with short review of the literature.

A case of cloverleaf skull with generalised bone dysplasia is reported. The authors believe that bone dysplasia associated with cloverleaf is neither identical with thanatophoric dysplasia nor achondroplasia. Until identity of thanatophoric dysplasia and cloverleaf skull with generalised bone dysplasia is proved the diseases should be looked upon as separate entities and the wording "thanatophoric dysplasia with cloverleaf skull" should be abolished.
