Summary

Epidemiology

Nine cases have been reported in the literature so far.

Clinical description

Dysmorphic features include micrognathia, cleft palate, hypertelorism and upturned nares. Clavicular aplasia is constant and agenesis of cervical vertebral bodies is frequent. Intra uterine growth retardation is constant.

Etiology

It is most likely that the condition is hereditary, transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.

Antenatal diagnosis

Antenatal diagnosis is possible by ultrasonographic monitoring for cerebral and vertebral malformations.

Prognosis

Prognosis is poor; the syndrome is almost always lethal soon after birth.
