Acromelic frontonasal dysplasia (AFND) is a rare variant of frontonasal dysplasia characterized by distinct craniofacial (large fontanelle, hypertelorism, bifid nasal tip, nasal clefting, brachycephaly, median cleft face, carp-shaped mouth), brain (interhemispheric lipoma, agenesis of the corpus callosum), and limb (tibial hypoplasia/aplasia, club foot, symmetric preaxial polydactyly of the feet and bilateral clubbed and thickened nails of halluces ) malformations as well as intellectual disability. Other manifestations sometimes reported include absent olfactory bulbs, hypopituitarism and cryptorchidism.

FRONTONASAL DYSPLASIA 1; FND1
Alternate names
FRONTONASAL DYSPLASIA 1; FND1 Is also known as frontonasal malformation, fnm, frontonasal dysplasia, median facial cleft syndrome, frontorhiny, fnd
Description
The term frontonasal dysplasia was coined by Sedano et al. (1970) to describe a constellation of findings limited to the face and head. The disorder is defined as 2 or more of the following: (1) true ocular hypertelorism; (2) broadening of the nasal root; (3) median facial cleft affecting the nose and/or upper lip and palate; (4) unilateral or bilateral clefting of the alae nasi; (5) lack of formation of the nasal tip; (6) anterior cranium bifidum occultum (see {168500}); and (7) a V-shaped or widow's peak frontal hairline (Sedano and Gorlin, 1988). Most reported cases are sporadic, but a few familial cases have been reported.Twigg et al. (2009) characterized frontonasal malformation (FNM) as a 'very heterogeneous group of disorders' and summarized clinical features.Also see acromelic frontonasal dysplasia (AFND ), frontofacionasal dysplasia (FFND ), oculoauriculofrontonasal syndrome (OAFNS ), the acrofrontofacionasal dysostosis syndromes ({201180}, {239710}), and craniofrontonasal syndrome (OMIM ).
Most common symptoms of FRONTONASAL DYSPLASIA 1; FND1
- Intellectual disability

- Hearing impairment
- Microcephaly
- Scoliosis

Description
Potocki-Shaffer syndrome is characterized by multiple exostoses, parietal foramina, enlargement of the anterior fontanelle and occasionally intellectual deficit and mild cranio-facial anomalies. To date, 23 individuals from 14 families have been reported. The syndrome is caused by contiguous gene deletions on the short arm of chromosome 11 (11p11.2).

CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS 5, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO; CRS5
Description
Premature fusion of the various sutures in the human neurocranium (skull vault and base) is defined as craniosynostosis (CRS). Clinical consequences include abnormal head shape and increased intracranial pressure, which may result in neurologic symptoms, developmental delay, and hearing or vision problems. Approximately 80% of cases are classified as nonsyndromic craniosynostosis and present as isolated suture fusion with no other associated anomalies. Sagittal suture fusion is the most common form of isolated craniosynostosis, accounting for 40 to 58% of all isolated cases (summary by Yagnik et al., 2012).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of craniosynostosis, see CRS1 (OMIM ).
Most common symptoms of CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS 5, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO; CRS5
- Global developmental delay
- Craniosynostosis
- Increased intracranial pressure
- Abnormality of the head

ISOLATED SCAPHOCEPHALY
Alternate names
ISOLATED SCAPHOCEPHALY Is also known as isolated dolichocephaly, non-syndromic sagittal synostosis
Description
Isolated scaphocephaly is a form of nonsyndromic craniosynostosis characterized by premature fusion of the sagittal suture.
Most common symptoms of ISOLATED SCAPHOCEPHALY
- Frontal bossing
- Dolichocephaly
- Increased intracranial pressure
- Prominent occiput
