title: Beemer-Langer type short rib-polydactyly syndrome: report of two cases.
abstract: Two sibs who died shortly after birth had multiple congenital anomalies that included hydrops, narrow thorax, short limbs, and absence of polydactyly; therefore short rib (polydactyly) syndrome Beemer-Langer type was suggested. We report these cases and discuss the differentiation with Majewski type.
