Hyperphalangy and clinodactyly of the index finger with Pierre Robin anomaly: Catel‐Manzke syndrome. A case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Mandibular hypoplasia, glossoptosis, U‐shaped cleft palate (Pierre Robin anomaly), associated with bilateral index finger malformation and congenital heart disease are described in a male, newborn infant. Review of the features of seven previously published patients, in addition to the patient reported here, confirms the existence of a distinct dysmorphogenesis syndrome. Although all of these eight patients have been males, and most were sporadic, the etiology of this rare malformation syndrome is unknown.
