We report an unusual form of chondrodystrophy identified in a female infant at birth. She was severely delayed developmentally and expired at one year of age. The dwarfism was characterized by brachymelia, dysmorphic features and unusual radiologic findings of the extremities and thorax. The spine, hand and foot X-rays were normal. The clinical and radiologic manifestations are unique and unrelated to other described entities.

Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders commonly characterized by excessive production of blood cell lineages. The JAK2 V617F mutation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of these conditions, often leading to thrombotic complications. Here, we present the case of a 21-year-old man who presented with acute abdominal pain and was found to have portal vein thrombosis with splenomegaly.
