title: Newly recognized syndrome of cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, skeletal anomalies: CODAS syndrome--a case report.
abstract: We report on a child with a unique constellation of congenital anomalies suggesting a new syndrome. These consist of developmental delay; craniofacial abnormalities, including bilateral cataracts, ptosis, median nasal groove, malformed ears with associated neurosensory hearing loss; dental anomalies consisting of anomalous cusp morphology with unusual pointed extensions and delayed tooth eruption; short stature with marked delay in epiphyseal ossification; coronal clefts involving vertebrae T11-S2; and dislocated hips. A literature search and use of a computer-assisted syndrome-identification program failed to uncover an identical case.
