✦ Synopsis
few were investigated through brain computed tomography (CT) scan. Considering the global reduction of body development in ODPD, evaluation of brain involvement can be useful.
We now report on the brain CT scan performed on the previously reported 7-year-old girl with ODPD [Corsello et al., 1996]. The CT study did not show abnormalities of the supratentorial and infratentorial central nervous system tissue. The brain size was remarkably and harmonically reduced; the ventricular system was morphovolumetrically normal; the mor-
