Background:

Malpuech syndrome is an exceptionally rare autosomal recessive disorder.
Genetic conditions often present with complex phenotypes requiring detailed case studies.

Observation:

Two Italian brothers presented with a constellation of congenital anomalies.
Observed features included facial clefting, hypertelorism, urogenital abnormalities (micropenis, shawl scrotum), hearing loss, caudal appendage, and umbilical hernia.

Findings:

The clinical presentation of the two brothers was consistent with Malpuech syndrome.
This case report reinforces the diagnostic criteria for this rare syndrome.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis of rare syndromes is crucial for genetic counseling and family planning.
