Abstract:
Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, with an autosomal dominant inheritance and consisting of a triad of polysyndactyly, macrocephaly and hypertelorism. Crossed polydactyly is a finding characteristically associated with this syndrome. We report a one and half year old male child who presented with classic clinical features and family history diagnostic of the above syndrome.
