title: Anophthalmos-syndactyly (Waardenburg) syndrome without oligodactyly of toes.
abstract: We report on 2 brothers from a consanguineous family from a small city of southeast Turkey. Both have bilateral anophthalmia, soft tissue syndactyly of the feet, bilateral partial synostosis of metatarsals IV and V, and basal synostosis of the fourth and fifth toes on the right in the older sib only, thus differing from all previously reported cases of anophthalmos-syndactyly syndrome.
