A previously unreported syndrome of multiple scalp whorls and associated anomalies.
A 13-month-old male infant with 14 hair whorls in the scalp, sparse frontal hair, wide forehead, ectropion, abnormal implantation of eyelashes, peculiar face and depigmented nipples is reported. Other aspects of his physical and mental development were within normal limits. The constellation of clinical features in this patient appear to represent a previously undescribed syndrome.
