Abstract

We describe a patient presenting with a combination of dental agenesis, agenesis of the distal phalanx of the fifth finger, small, dystrophic toenails, permanent facial erythema, short stature and mild mental retardation. The neuropsychological profile of this patient which was studied in detail and showed a significant discrepancy between verbal and performance IQ. We discuss the differential diagnosis of this case and conclude that our patient's condition could represent a new syndrome.
