Brief clinical report: short rib-polydactyly syndrome, Majewski type.

We describe a baby with external and internal anomalies of the Majewski form of the short rib-polydactyly (SRP) syndromes. Previously unreported abnormal vertebral bodies, delayed ossification of the sternum and fibulae, and a diencephalic hamartoma are noted. These abnormalities and minimal histologic abnormality at the chondro-osseous junction suggest that this syndrome may be heterogeneous or more variable than previously known.
