Nager acrofacial dysostosis. An adult male with severe neurological deficit.
In this report we describe a 50-year old male with Nager Acrofacial Dysostosis. In addition to the typical maxillofacial dysostosis and the bilateral thumb hypoplasia, he presented a severe neurological syndrome with spastic diplegia, hemiparesis of the left arm, and agenesis of the corpus callosum on CT-scan. He died at the age of 50 years from congestive heart failure due to a complete AV-block.
