Several disorders may occur with hypoplasia of the pubis.PRESENTATION OF CASEHere, we report a rare longer follow-up case of the congenital unilateral agenesis of the superior ramus of pubic bone with bilateral undescended testes, osteoporosis, cranial malformations, acetabular dysplasia, unilateral shortening of the lower extremity and an abnormal gait pattern.DISCUSSIONSomatic mutations may responsible for developmental abnormalities of the mesoderm from which the pubic bones and urogenital structures develop.CONCLUSIONAn isolated x-ray finding of ramus pubis agenesis may associate with cryptorchidism or several other urogenital malformations. |
