We describe an Israeli Jewish child of Yemenite origin who may be affected with ''cerebro-osteo-nephrosis.'' She is short of stature (height below 3rd centile) due to skeletal abnormalities. She has minor anomalies and borderline intelligence. There is marked proteinuria and she is in kidney failure

โฆ Synopsis
We describe a newborn girl with a lethal sclerosing bone dysplasia leading to prenatal skeletal alterations and microcephaly, proptosis, hypoplastic nose and midface, small jaw, cleft palate, hypertrophied gums, intracranial calcifications, and generalized osteosclerosis. There is a remarkable similarity between our patient and six previously reported infants subsequently categorized as having a distinct entity: Raine syndrome. Autosomal recessive inheritance is postulated based on parental consanguinity in several of the previous cases and in our patient.

We present 5 unrelated patients, 3 boys and 2 girls, with Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) type 2. They all had cloverleaf skull, severe proptosis, ankylosis of the elbows, broad thumbs and/or broad halluces and variable accompanying anomalies. We review the literature on all subtypes of PS. Most patients wit

Raine et al. reported on a previously unknown disorder subsequently categorized as Raine syndrome by Kan and Kozlowski [1992], which comprised severe craniofacial anomalies with microcephaly, deformed hypoplastic nose, prominent exophthalmos, gum hypoplasia, low-set ears, and choanal atresia or sten
Keutel syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by diffuse cartilage calcification, characteristic physiognomy, brachytelephalangism, peripheral pulmonary stenosis, hearing loss, and borderline to mild mental retardation.

A 7-year-old boy had partial lipohypoplasia and patchy dermal hypoplasia involving large areas of his body. These areas of deficient growth were similar to those described in many cases of Proteus syndrome. Paradoxically, however, he had only few and rather mild lesions of disproportionate overgrowt
