Clin Case Rep. 2020 May 20;8(9):1613-1617. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.2959. eCollection 2020 Sep.

Abstract

Pfeiffer syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with heterogenous phenotype and prognosis. Due to its diverse clinical presentation, it can easily be misdiagnosed. Where genetic testing still remains a challenge, antenatal sonogram can aid in early diagnosis. The cranioorbito-faciostenosis demands aggressive management to permit survival instead of uniform early demise.
