We report an unusual case of spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia congenita which affected only the hips and the thoraco-lumbar spine. The epiphysis of the long bones are normal apart from the hips. Our child has a bilateral epiphyseal dysplasia of both proximal femoral epiphysis discovered incidentally at 11 months and confirmed later on at 8 years, associated with abnormalities of the superior margin of the vertebral bodies from T11 to L2. Very few similar cases have been reported anteriorly.
