Abstract

Fraser syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder; the most consistent features are cryptophthalmos, syndactyly of fingers and toes, laryngeal stenosis, and urogenital abnormalities. We report a newborn case at day 1 of life who had multiple abnormalities, born from a consanguineous marriage. Clinically, the newborn had an ankyloblepharon on the left side, a cryptophthalmos on the right side, a syndactyly, anorectal abnormalities with ambiguous genitalia, laryngeal stenosis, and ear malformations. TDM of the cranium and orbits and the transfontanel ultrasound were normal. The abdominal ultrasound showed renal abnormalities. Right eye surgery showed a reduced cornea to an opaque thin plate clinging to the iris without an anterior chamber and a nonindividualized eyeball. The authors discuss the morphological abnormalities, the clinical and paraclinical aspects of this syndrome, its multispecialized clinical management, and the importance of prenatal diagnosis.
