Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is characterized by the combination of congenital scalp defects (aplasia cutis congenita) and terminal transverse limb defects of variable severity. It is believed that Adams-Oliver syndrome without major organ abnormalities does not necessarily alter the normal lifespan. We present a case without detectable major organ abnormality contrary to life but with poor weig...

Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a rare congenital disorder with unknown etiology commonly presented with aplasia cutis and terminal limb defects. Central nervous and cardiopulmonary systems may also be affected. It is commonly inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder but autosomal recessive and sporadic cases have also been reported. Here, we present a 10-year-old boy with extensive aplasia c...

In the majority of cases, it is limited to the scalp especially on the vertex although other areas of the body may also be involved. Other congenital malformations can be associated with ACC.

UNLABELLED Adams Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a highly variable entity with terminal transverse limb defects (TTLD) and aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) with a wide phenotypic spectrum. Several inheritance models have been observed; the most severe phenotype has been related to an autosomal recessive (AR) pattern of inheritance. OBJECTIVE. To present a family with two half siblings with a severe pheno...

Oculoectodermal syndrome is a rare disease characterized by the association of aplasia cutis congenita, epibulbar dermoids, and other abnormalities. This report describes the twentieth case of the disease. We report a 4-year-old female child who presented with the classical features of the syndrome: aplasia cutis congenita and epibulbar dermoids.
