Abstract:
We describe 2 sibs with multiple congenital anomalies. The main manifestations include hypoplasia of the corpus callosum and/or cerebellar hypoplasia, Robin sequence, pharyngeal and laryngeal hypoplasia, abnormal ears, excessive neck skin, cardiac defect, and Hirschsprung disease. The presence in 2 sibs born to healthy, consanguineous parents suggests autosomal recessive inheritance. These anomalies must have arisen during blastogenesis; the syndrome resembles most the condition described in 1988 by Toriello and Carey.
