The 9p- syndrome is a chromosomal disorder which is easily recognized by its characteristic craniofacial features. Neurologic abnormalities are evident in all reported cases, the most common of which is severe mental retardation. We add another case with unusual features including glaucoma, seizures, and polydactyly, and review the somatic and neurologic features from 41 previously reported cases.
Despite its alarming appearance, the kleeblattschadel anomaly, when it occurs in the absence of a recognizable mental retardation syndrome, is not associated with primary abnormalities of the central nervous system. Early medical and surgical efforts may result in a satisfactory cosmetic and neurologic outcome.
