    AbstractCongenital anterolateral bowing of the lower leg usually is a symptom of (impending) fracture because of congenital pseudarthrosis.

A review of the literature showed 10 comparable cases. This article is the first report on the magnetic imaging of this entity and describes its differentiation from congenital pseudarthrosis.
