AB It  is  an  extremely  rare  hereditary  skeletal  dysplasia  presenting  clinically  in  two  different  forms.  In  general  terms,  the  Kenny-Caffey  Syndrome  is  characterized  by  proportionate  dwarfism  as  a  result  of  thickening  of  the  inner  corticalis  and  stenosis  of  the  medullary  cavities  of  the  tubular  bones.  The  signs  of  the  disease  are  present  at  birth.  Other  features  include  short  stature,  hypocalcemia,  hypoparathyroidism,  and  normal  intelligence.  The  onset  of  hypocalcemia  is  usually  present  within  infancy,  the  first  2  to  3  months  of  life,  and  is  transient.  It  is  established  that  hypocalcemia  in  adult  may  be  due  to  stress  or  follow  surgery  or  illness.
