Abstract

We report on a patient with bilateral multiple craniosynostosis involving the coronal and lambdoid sutures, high myopia, obesity, vertebral anomalies, minor acral anomalies and normal intelligence. The clinical features are not typical of any known craniosynostosis syndrome. Search of POSSUM, London Dysmorphology Database (LDDB), online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and the medical literature failed to find any similar case. The constellation of manifestations in this patient suggests a previously unrecognized syndrome resembling Carpenter syndrome.

Key words: New syndrome, craniosynostosis, Carpenter syndrome.
