A 12-years-old male child presented with polydactyly and syndactyly of hands, hypospadias, AND undescended testes. He was a known case of Tetrology of Fallot. One important differential in our case was Bardet-Biedl syndrome, but it was ruled out due to lack of evidence of central obesity, mental retardation and retinitis pigmentosa. At this time, there is no molecular testing available to disti...

We report a new case of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome with a hypoplastic right kidney, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and mitral valve regurgitation. Other pertinent features included broad thumbs, broad big toes, syndactyly of the third and fourth fingers bilaterally, beaked nose, broad columella of the nose, patent ductus arteriosus, and motor and mental retardation. The testes were descended...

We report on a 9 year old girl, born to consanguineous parents, with major microcephaly, cutaneous syndactyly of the toes, and moderate mental retardation with marked speech involvement. In addition, moderate dysmorphic features and skeletal abnormalities were noted. This multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation pattern very much resembles that described by Filippi. This observation con...

uterine growth retardation, breech presentation, failure to thrive, vomiting in infancy, microcephaly, mental deficiency, blepharoptosis, short nose with a broad bridge and anteverted nares, broad maxillary alveolus, micrognathia, short neck, hypospadias and cryptorchidism (in males), simian palmar creases, metatarsus adductus, pedal syndactyly, and abnormal dermatoglyphic patterns. Additional ...

Recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. Using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. This concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and Laplacian of vector fields. This concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discu...

  Koebner phenomenon is observed in a number of inflammatory skin diseases. Psoriasis is one of the most common skin diseases associated with Koebner phenomenon. Nail psoriasis may be developed independently from inflammatory arthritis and skin psoriasis. This study reports on the reconstruction of third web of a 30-year-old woman, which performed on her right, due to congenital syndactyly. Fou...

Poland syndrome is a rare congenital disease characterized by various degrees of chest wall defects, such as deficits in the small thoracic muscle and defects neuromuscular region muscle. In addition, this condition may present with loss or weak development papilla breasts can be accompanied brachydactyly, syndactyly, limb hands feet on same side. also cause deformities heart, lungs, kidneys.
