FAMILIAL ACROCEPHALOSYNDACTYLY (PFEIFFER SYNDROME)

Abstract
A family with acrocephalosyndactyly, which differs from classic Apert’s syndrome, has been described.The autosomal dominant manner of inheritance and the lack of interdigital osseous fusion clearly differentiates it from Apert’s syndrome. Other characteristic features include broad thumbs and great toes, normal intelligence, and only mild soft-tissue syndactyly.Additional roentgen findings are presented and a differential diagnosis is discussed.
