title: Growth deficiency in oculodigitoesophagoduodenal (Feingold) syndrome--case report and review of the literature.
abstract: We report a case of Feingold syndrome with oesophageal atresia and microcephaly. Marked short stature was present at the age of 9 years. Although short stature has not previously been commented upon as a feature of this syndrome, a review of the literature indicates that it has occurred in several previously reported cases. Of the 18 cases in the literature for which height was recorded, three (16.7%) had height on or below the 0.4th centile, while nine (50%) had height on or below the 10th centile. We suggest that short stature is likely to be a phenotypic feature of Feingold syndrome.
