Macrocephaly, distinct craniofacial appearance, and spastic paraplegia: a new case and expansion of the phenotype.

We believe she represents the fourth case of the Fryns macrocephaly, distinct craniofacial appearance and spastic paraplegia syndrome. Cardinal features are discussed and additional phenotypic manifestations are discussed.
