Four individuals from one consanguineous family affected with macrocephaly, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and distinctive facies were presented by Al Gazali and Bakalinova in 1998 (1) as a distinct clinical entity. To the best of our knowledge, no other similarly affected family has been presented in the literature. Here, we present an affected macrocephalic male, from a consanguineous family, with facial anomalies, cranial MRI findings and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia findings. We believe this is the second family with a similar clinical spectrum and the same inheritance pattern as those of the family presented by Al Gazali and Bakalinova. Pectus carinatum, hip dislocation and a history of prenatal polyhydramnios have been noted as additional findings in our patient.
