In reply to Dr. Tuttle's letter, I can only state that I missed Dr. Caffey's references and should obviously have searched further.
Regarding Dr. Aase's letter, since reporting and describing the dimples in Pediatrics I have encountered them in a child with achondroplasia. Perhaps they have been described in this association alsoI do not knowbut it is interesting that Dr. Aase's patients also have musculoskeletal abnormalities. However, I also recently saw them in a young infant who seemed otherwise normal and in whom the history revealed nothing apparently significant. I have not noticed the limitation of joint motion.
