title: Cortical blindness, growth and psychomotor retardation and postaxial polydactyly: a probably distinct autosomal recessive syndrome.
abstract: A 14-month-old female infant with a syndrome mainly consisting of cortical blindness, psychomotor retardation and postaxial polydactyly (type B in hands and type A in feet) was studied. Two deceased sibs were similarly affected. Differential diagnosis and the review of medical literature permit the individualization of a distinct syndrome with a probable autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
