Marshall-Smith syndrome: case report of a newborn male and review of the literature

Clin Dysmorphol. 1999 Jul;8(3):207-10.

Abstract

Marshall-Smith syndrome is a rare congenital condition, characterized by advanced bone age, facial anomalies and relative failure to thrive. We report a newborn male with Marshall-Smith syndrome and summarize 21 previously reported cases. We report cerebellar hypoplasia in our patient, which has not been previously reported in subjects with this rare syndrome. This patient's findings broaden the phenotypic spectrum seen in Marshall-Smith syndrome.
