Arthralgias and hip dysplasia: About tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome

Abstract

Introduction

Tricho-Rhino-Phalangeal Syndrome (TRPS) is a rare genetic and heterogeneous entity distinguished by skeletal abnomalities, growth retardation, distinctive facial features, ectodermal alterations – thin and depigmented hair, nail dystrophy – and also variable intellectual disability.

Objective

We present the case of a woman patient referrered to Rheumatology because of progressive-course mechanical joint pain for few years and previous-known pathology on hips.

Conclusion

Although infrequent, it is a musculo-skeletal entity that must be recognised by rheumatologists.
