[Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia with atypical vertebral changes in a case of anorchism (author's transl)].

A case of metaphyseal chondrodysplasia with testicular dysgenesis, hair aplasia, hormonal and somatic features partially indicative of Noonan's syndrome, followed from 6 to 14 years, is described. The associated vertebral changes can be referred to same chondrodysplasic process; persistence of intermediate cartilage and precocious discal damage contribute in vertebral morphogenesis.
