Article Abstract
Bartsocas-Papas Syndrome (BPS) is a rare congenital disorder, first described in 1972. It is usually characterized by neonatal or intrauterine death, and, as such, only 26 cases have been reported. Physical manifestations such as antecubital and popliteal pterygia (webbing), syndactyly of fingers, toes and talipes are frequently reported.
