Devriendt Syndrome

Koenig et al. (2005) reported a severely retarded female with Robin sequence, short stature, seizures, and a characteristic segmentation of the second metacarpal. They noted that Devriendt et al. (2000) had reported an adult female with severe short stature, profound mental retardation, seizures, facial dysmorphism, and hyperphalangy of her index fingers. Koenig et al. (2005) suggested that these patients had the same disorder, which they called Devriendt syndrome.
