Apert syndrome is a type of acrocephalosyndactilia that consists of craniofacial synostosis, midface hypoplasia and syndactyly, with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. During anesthesia, difficult intubation and ventilation may be observed because of abnormal airways. In one of our patients, visceral anomalies, such as esophageal stricture and post-strictural dilatation, may cause respi...

Apert syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia and syndactyly. In general, patients present in early childhood for craniofacial reconstruction surgery. Anesthetic implications include difficult airway, airway hyper-reactivity; however, possibility of raised intracranial pressure especially when operating for craniosynostosis and associated ...

Twenty-five syndactylous Angus cattle, characterized pathologically, were reported from 16 herds in 10 states from 1979 to 1994. Twenty-one (84%) had all 4 legs syndactylous, 3 (12%) had 3 legs syndactylous, and 1 (4%) had 2 legs syndactylous. All syndactylous cattle walked with considerable difficulty. Hooves of aged animals became curled and bent laterally or medially. Affected hooves had the...

Apert Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that presents with craniosynostosis, syndactyly and midface retrusion dysostosis as well many other anomalies. an autosomal dominant syndrome equally in males females has occurrence rate of 1 every 65,000.

Ankyloblepharon-ectodermal defects-cleft lip/palate (AEC) syndrome (or Hay-Wells syndrome) is a rare congenital malformation. Our first cases were a pair of female monozygotic twins with AEC syndrome at Srinagarind Hospital. In this study, we describe monozygotic female twins concordant for ankyloblephaon, ectodermal dysplasia and helical rim deformities, but discordant for cleft, syndactyly of...

Triphalangeal thumb (TPT), a long, finger-like thumb with three phalanges instead of two, is regarded as a subtype of preaxial polydactyly. It can occur as a sporadic disorder, but is more often seen as a dominant familial trait. We describe four white Dutch families in which triphalangeal thumb has variable expression and is sometimes associated with preaxial extra rays, rudimentary postaxial ...
