Summary: | Filippi syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by syndactyly of fingers and toes, microcephaly, growth retardation
and abnormal facies. We are describing a boy who presented with syndactyly, mental retardation, microcephaly, depressed nasal bridge
and growth retardation. In addition he had some dental abnormalities like missing bilateral lateral incisors and delayed eruption of teeth.
We concluded it to be Filippi syndrome by studying pathognomic clinical features and reviewed the literature. This is the second case
report from India. |
