Article Synopsis
- A female patient with craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS) exhibited several midline defects, including agenesis of the corpus callosum, ocular issues, and reproductive system anomalies, linked to a novel mutation in the EFNB1 gene.
- Analysis of existing literature revealed at least 39 CFNS cases with similar extracranial midline defects, suggesting that EFNB1 mutations disrupt development in these areas.
- This case emphasizes the need for genetic screenings for urinary and reproductive anomalies in CFNS patients, as it could help identify their prevalence and improve patient management.
The aim of our study was to determine the frequency and type of associated congenital anomalies in patients with isolated gastroschisis born at the Dr. Juan I. Menchaca Civil Hospital of Guadalajara (Guadalajara, México), and to explore its possible association with the included outcome variables.

Here, we report two sisters with YVS who also had papillo-macular atrophic chorioretinopathy with "salt-and-pepper" appearance that could not be attributed to environmental or metabolic causes. Our best hypothesis is that the ocular findings in our two patients are part of the phenotypic manifestations of YVS.

We describe two female siblings with SWS born from consanguineous Gypsy parents. For a further delineation of SWS, we report hypothyroidism and ectopic thyroid as part of its phenotypic spectrum.

Radiographic evidence of tracheal duplication was documented in a male infant with oculoauriculofrontonasal syndrome. Although previously unreported in oculoauriculofrontonasal syndrome, airway anomalies in our case can be attributed to the oculo-auriculo-vertebral component of the oculoauriculofrontonasal syndrome.
