The authors present the case of one patient affected with Seckel's syndrome which came to their observation as a result of pain in the hip with limping, diagnosed after Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. There seems to be an accidental relationship between the two diseases, although Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is frequently described in all cases of endocrinous dwarfism.
