TEXT

MacDermot and Winter (1989) described a seemingly 'new' syndrome with facial anomalies, microcephaly, hypoplastic genitalia, and failure of psychomotor development. The 2 brothers were from a consanguineous Moslem family. They showed prenatal onset of growth deficiency and had convulsions from birth. Atypical anomalies consisted of a prominent glabella, arched eyebrows, a low upswept frontal hairline, large posteriorly rotated ears with overfolded upper helices, partial camptodactyly, and wide-spaced nipples. Death occurred at 21 days and 7 months, respectively. Postmortem examination showed dilated cerebral ventricles and hydronephrosis.
