Abstract
A female baby was born with phocomelia, bilateral cleft lip and palate, marked micrognathia, malar hypoplasia, absence of lower eyelids, and absence of external ears. Radiological examination showed hypoplastic pectoral and pelvic girdles, short humeri and femora, with absence of forearms and legs, and oligodactyly of upper limbs. Her mother has triphalangism of the left thumb and a hypoplastic right thumb with stiff metacarpophalangeal joint. She also has downward-slanting palpebral fissures, malar hypoplasia, and deepset eyes. This observation offers an opportunity to revisit the acrofacial dysostoses syndromes, including Nager-Reynier syndrome, Genée-Wiedeman syndrome, and lethal forms.Entities:
