We report on a child with micrognathia, a short, webbed neck, joint contractures, hypoplastic nipples, and a number of other anomalies.

December 2024

Mr. Dahabreh and Drs. Hazan and Khorasani are with the Department of Dermatology, Icahn School of Medicine at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, New York.
