Epiphysiolysis capitis femoris als mögliche Komplikation eines Hypoparathyreoidismus bei partiellem Di George Syndrom

We report on a 2-year old boy with the characteristic features of Di George syndrome. The diagnosis was confirmed by history, biochemical, immunologic and radiologic findings. After physical exercise he developed an unilateral epiphysiolysis capitis femoris, rarely seen in this age and not known to be a complication of hypoparathyroidism.
