    Abstract

    Cranio-osteoarthropathy is a rare condition. Classically, signs are identifiable in infancy with clubbing of fingers, and delayed closure of the clinically enlarged cranial sutures, followed by periosteal new bone formation on X-rays of the long bones. Ultimately, joint swelling and stiffness follow, typically involving the large joints. We report two unrelated patients with features of cranio-osteoarthropathy, both of whom also had a history of congenital heart disease. Moreover, the cases reported here, manifesting significant differences in radiological features, emphasize the variability of radiological findings which can attend this condition.
