title: Further evidence for a syndrome of "apple peel" intestinal atresia, ocular anomalies and microcephaly.
abstract: We report on a male child with "apple peel" atresia, associated with microcephaly, with subsequent hydrocephalus, short stature, moderate global developmental delay and ocular abnormalities. A similar phenotype was previously reported by Stromme et al. in 1993 in female siblings, and this description of another affected individual provides further evidence for this being a distinct syndromic entity.
