Abstract
Four boys with facial-digital-genital or Aarskog syndrome were whort with triangular faces, characteristic deformities of the hands and feet, and anomalies of the external genitalia. The syndrome appears to be inherited in an X-chromosomes-limked recessive manner. Previous reports emphasized the presence of hypertelorism but careful measurements of the interorbital dimensions revealed primary telecanthus in addition to hypertelorism. The palpebral fissures had a marked antimongoloid obliquity and in half the reported cases, there was unilateral or bilateral congenital blepharoptosis. Strabismus, hyperopic astigmatism, and large corneas may be additional features.
