Abstract |
Apert’s syndrome is an uncommon, congenital disturbance in the growth of bone and soft tissue affecting principally the head, the hand and feet. So there is skull malformation, most often acrocephaly, associated
with symmetrical malformation of both hand and feet. This syndrome was first described by Apert in 1906.
since that time, over 200 cases have been reported in the world. Recently, we have experienced a case of newborn infant, male, who was found to have congenital anomalies of the skull and extremites, characteristic of the
Apert's syndromee. A brief review of literature was made.
