Apert syndrome - acrocephalosyndactyly - is a rare autosomal dominant disorder representing 1:65 000 cases of living newborns. Characteristic malformations of the Apert syndrome are early craniostenosis, microviscerocranium and II-V finger syndactyly of hand and toes with proximal phalanx of the bilateral thumb "in delta". It is difficult to determine prenatal diagnosis in the second quarter, when examining the morphology of fetal signs; the dysmorphism signs appeared in the third pregnancy quarter. We present here the case of a newborn with Apert syndrome that was born prematurely in our Clinic after a monitored pregnancy, where there was issued a suspicion of cranio-facial dysmorphism, malposition and malformation of the feet and hands in the third quarter of prenatal pregnancy. The diagnosis of Apert syndrome was placed on clinical signs, laboratory and genetic tests. The clinical outcome of the baby in the maternity was favorable, the therapeutic management being established by a multidisciplinary team. Immediate complications were due to the case of prematurity: respiratory distress syndrome and the characteristics of the syndrome: micrognathia and naso-facial dysmorphism, syndactyly, bilateral foot metatarsus adductus.
