ID#: 16352
Caption:
This infant was born with an autosomal dominant disorder known as Apert’s syndrome, otherwise known as acrocephalosyndactyly. Note the deformation of the baby’s outer ear, or pinna. See PHIL 16353, and 16354, for other views of this infant’s symptoms. Apert's syndrome involves malformations of the cranium, face, hands and feet. Because the first branchial, or pharyngeal arch is involved, there is accompanying involvement of the maxilla, and mandible, and ear. There is also, a premature fusion of the cranial bones leading to abnormal bone growth.
