Abstract

We report on a 20-month-old girl with hypothalamic hamartoma, left cerebral atrophy, tongue nodules, oral frenula, micrognathia, hypoplasia of the left ulna, the fibulae, and right tibia, polysyndactyly of the hands and feet, vagino-cystic drainage with hydrometrocolpos, megaloureters, and hydronephrosis, agenesis of urethra, complex partial seizures, and central precocious puberty. The differential diagnosis is discussed. We conclude that the malformation complex in this girl is an oral-facial-digital syndrome, but is different from any of the 11 known subtypes.
