This syndrome has characteristics of cloverleaf skull, limb anomalies, facial dysmorphism and multiple congenital anomalies. It has been described in three siblings from one family. Dysmorphic features include protruding forehead, hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge, wide anterior fontanelle and short philtrum, down turning mouth, micrognathia and low-set ears. The limbs show rhizomelic shortening. Additional malformations are not constant: omphalocele, bilateral microphthalmia, cataract, narrow chest, ambiguous genitalia, cardiac ventricular septal defect and agenesis of the corpus callosum. The condition seems to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Prognosis is poor.
