Periventricular neuronal heterotopia, oro-facio-digital anomalies, and microphthalmia. A new syndrome?

Abstract: Congenital malformations involving the face, oral cavity, and digits are the main findings in the oro-facio-digital (OFD) syndromes. Various eye anomalies and central nervous system involvement have also been reported in this condition. Here we report on a Brazilian boy with features belonging to the clinical spectrum of the OFD syndromes. He also had additional findings of periventricular nodular heterotopia (PVNH), asymmetric limb involvement, and microphthalmia. This unusual pattern of anomalies has not bee… Show more

“…PNH and distal limb deficiencies have been reported in patients classified as severe AOS, amniotic band sequence, or with other congenital anomalies. Several case reports describe patients with PNH, limb deficiency, and microphthalmia, cleft palate or midface hypoplasia [Castro et al, 2005; Ruggieri et al, 2007]. The phenotype of our patients overlaps with the severe variant of AOS, although our patients do not have scalp or skin defects [Amor et al, 2000; Brancati et al, 2008; McGoey and Lacassie, 2008].…”

“…Os diversos fenótipos associados com a VWS estão diretamente relacionados com a sua variável expressividade. Além das fissuras de lábio e/ou palato e da presença ou não das fossetas no lábio inferior, podemos encontrar relatos de agenesias dentárias *6,24,43,47,48,64 evertido, provavelmente tratando-se de uma microforma de fosseta labial; língua lobulada; múltiplos frênulos anormais; FP; agenesia e hipoplasia de unhas), adicionadas a agenesias dentárias, microftalmia e heterotopia neuronal periventricular, CASTRO et al 5 provavelmente descrevem outra síndrome com fosseta labial.…”
