Melnick-Needles syndrome is an osteo-dysplasia caused by a mutation of a gene, FLNA, coding for filamine A. It is at the origin of a set of complex congenital malformations, mainly of interest to the members, but also to the cranio-facial region. Melnick-Needles syndrome was first described in 1966 by two Americans John Melnick, a radiologist, and Carl F Needles, a pediatrician. They described cases of families of several generations who had a characteristic severe congenital bone disorder. They thought that human-to-human transmission had occurred in one case. We report a case of Melnick-Needles syndrome which is a pathology with very high mortality especially in a male subject. This was an observational study of a case received in consultation with the pediatric service of the Souro Sanou University Hospital Center in Bobo Dioulasso in Burkina Faso. It was a 3-year-old boy born in a low-term pregnancy without any prenatal consultation, imaging test and prenatal biology performed. The exact pathogenesis of this condition is not established but is linked to a mutation of the Filamine A gene linked to sexual chromosomes X. Pathology is rare, around a hundred cases have been reported worldwide. Its incidence, according to the literature is around 1/100,000. The sex ratio is at 7. The malformations of this acquired embryo-fetopathy are multiple, polymorphic and asymmetrical. The diagnosis of this pathology is suspected by the clinic and established by molecular biology by sequencing the genes responsible for the mutation. However, imagery, in particular the scanner has a major role by its protocol with multi-planar reconstructions and its analysis in double windowing which allow a better description of the malformations of this syndrome. Its management is complex, and multidisciplinary, and the unfortunate prognosis in our context is because of the precarious technical platform. In our case despite the obvious malformations presented by the patient, the parents consulted late in a health center because of the automation and especially the socio-cultural constraints which incriminate this type of polymalformation as being a curse. The patient underwent abdominal surgery and even the operating procedures were simple, he died four months after leaving the hospital, due to an unspecified cause. 展开更多
