Documentation of anomalies not previously described in Fryns syndrome

We report on a case of Fryns syndrome with microcephaly, multiple facial anomalies, hypoplasia of distal phalanges, diaphragmatic defect with a thin; translucent diaphragm, microphthalmia (right), anophthalmia (left), and multiple midline developmental defects including gastroschisis, central nervous system defects including left arrhinencephaly and cerebellar hypoplasia, midline cleft of the upper lip,alveolar ridge and maxillary bone, and cleft nose with bilateral choanal atresia. These defects add to our knowledge of the phenotype of Fryns syndrome. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
