Acrocephalosyndactylia

Acrocephalosyndactylia (or acrocephalosyndactyly) is the common presentation of craniosynostosis and syndactyly.

Diagnosis

Classification

It has several different types:

• type 1 – Apert syndrome^:577
• type 2 – Crouzon syndrome^:577
• type 3 – Saethre–Chotzen syndrome
• type 5 – Pfeiffer syndrome

A related term, "acrocephalopolysyndactyly" (ACPS), refers to the inclusion of polydactyly to the presentation. It also has multiple types:

• type 1 – Noack syndrome; now classified with Pfeiffer syndrome
• type 2 – Carpenter syndrome
• type 3 – Sakati–Nyhan–Tisdale syndrome
• type 4 – Goodman syndrome; now classified with Carpenter syndrome
• type 5 – Pfeiffer syndrome

It has been suggested that the distinction between "acrocephalosyndactyly" versus "acrocephalopolysyndactyly" should be abandoned.
