Haddad et al, 2008, studied an infant girl, born to healthy, non-consanguineous parents, diagnosed with dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica at the age of 8 months. The authors noted that this was the first case of this disorder in which there was involvement of both the lower limb and the spine. 

Karam et al, 2008, described a 3-year-old girl with a generalised form of dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica. The patient's case was unique as her contralateral sacroiliac joint was also affected.
