What is "dolichostenomelia"

Dolichostenomelia is a human condition or habitus in which the limbs are unusually long. The name is derived from Ancient Greek (dolichos - long, steno - short, narrow, close, melia - of the limbs). It is a common feature of several kinds of hereditary disorders which affect connective tissue, such as Marfan Syndrome and homocystinuria.
