%X Acro-osteolysis (AO) involves partial or total destruction of the distal phalanges of the fingers or toes. The range of forms of AO is extremely wide. We distinguish acquired forms and the genetic and idiopathic forms. We report a case of 49 years old lady who presented shortening of the fingers on her right hand. We retained an idiopathic AO: Hajdu Cheney syndrome on clinical and radiological criteria as well as the absence of other etiologies. Despite recent improvement in the knowledge of the disease, no cure is available.
