THE ROENTGENOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF THE OTO-PALATO-DIGITAL (OPD) SYNDROME

Abstract
The roentgenographic features seen in 3 brothers with oto-palato-digital (OPD) syndrome are described and compared with those of a previously reported 10 year old boy with this condition. The oto-palato-digital syndrome is a hereditary condition with a recessive mode of genetic transmission. The clinical features are briefly described. Conditions having some similar features are mentioned. It is concluded that the oto-palato-digital syndrome has characteristic features which permit an unequivocal roentgenologic diagnosis in the child over the age of 5 years.
