title: Isolated hypospadias is not associated with signs of midline closure defects.
abstract: Ten mild signs of midline closure defect and three anthropometric parameters characterizing the distance of paired organs ("hypertelorism") were investigated in 35 boys with isolated hypospadias and in 70 control children admitted for acute infections. No significant differences between the two groups were obtained. The findings suggest that isolated, nonsyndromic hypospadias is not associated with latent midline closure anomalies.
