I describe a boy with lambdoid craniosynostosis, severe global developmental delay, epilepsy, oculomotor dyspraxia, very thin corpus callosum, and minor anomalies. The phenotype is in keeping with a diagnosis of craniofacial dyssynostosis. This autosomal recessive condition was first described in 19

โฆ Synopsis
We describe an Arab boy with craniofacial dyssynostosis. He presented with facial anomalies, mental retardation, epilepsy, hypotonia, and agenesis of the corpus callosum. This report reemphasises the previously reported traits of craniofacial dysost o s i s s y n d r o m e a n d s u g g e s t s t h a t cryptorchidism represents part of the syndrome profile and that the presence of normal stature does not preclude the diagnosis.

We propose a numerical means of increasing the objectivity of describing, characterizing, and evaluating craniofacial morphology, including dysmorphology. A craniofacial variability index (CVI) can be created for an individual by obtaining a series of anthropometric measurements of the head and face
We report on an 8-year-old boy with clinical manifestations suggestive of a new arthrogryposis syndrome. These included characteristic craniofacial abnormalities, cleft palate, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, pulmonary hypoplasia, cryptorchidism, and unusual ophthalmological findings. There was
We studied a familial dup(5q) present in a phenotypically normal father and his monozygotic twin daughters with different abnormal phenotypes. High-resolution chromosome analysis suggested that the duplicated segment was of region q15-21, which seems to be the smallest dup(5q) reported thus far. Thi
Laryngotracheal stenosis is rare in adults, especially in the absence of a malignancy. It is most commonly caused by fibrosis following endotracheal intubation or tracheal trauma. Other conditions causing progressive airway narrowing include the mucopolysaccharidoses and autoimmune disorders. With t
