Craniosynostosis-fibular aplasia syndrome (also known as craniosynostosis with fibular aplasia or Lowry syndrome) is a rare syndrome characterized by bicoronal craniosynostosis, absent fibula, cryptorchidism, and bilateral simian creases.[1][2][3]
Signs and symptoms
[edit]Features of this condition include:[1]
- Limbs: fibular aplasia, single transverse palmar crease
- Genitourinary system: cryptorchidism
- Musculoskeletal system: craniosynostosis
History
[edit]The first (and only) reported cases of this syndrome were two brothers first described in 1972. Both had normal intelligence. A follow-up report was made on one the brothers in 1993 at age 25 with two years of college education.[1][2]
Causes
[edit]This condition is genetic but little is known of its cause. Autosomal recessive inheritance has been suggested.[1][2]
