Abstract
We describe a case of bilateral accessory ossification centers of the ischio-pubic synchondrosis and an evalution over a three years period in a female infant. The condition is of extreme rarity. It does not produce any modification in the normal process of ossification and final fusion of the synchondrosis itself.
