title: Amniotic band sequence versus the autosomal recessive microcephaly, facial clefting, and preaxial polydactyly syndrome.
abstract: We report a Brazilian boy, born to consanguineous parents. On the left arm there was a proximal 'ring shaped' constriction, regional aplasia cutis, and a short hand with markedly hypoplastic fingers and nails 2-3. He also had a bilateral cleft lip/palate, preaxial polydactyly involving the distal phalanx of the left index finger, and a supernumerary nipple on the right. The differential diagnosis is discussed.
