This case report highlights the rare simultaneous occurrence of bilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes disease with mirror symmetry in identical twins, suggesting potential genetic risks.
Case report of mirror symmetry does not alter LCPD practice; leaves open genetic contributions to disease patterning in twins.
This report describes simultaneous bilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) development in fouryear-old identical male twins. Moreover, the twins showed head involvement patterns with mirror symmetry. We included a review of the literature on this rare condition and discussed the genetic risks associated with LCPD.
