Abstract
The Antley-Bixler syndrome (ABS) is characterized by craniofacial, ske letal and urogenital anomalies. While most patients with ABS die of se vere respiratory complications in their first months, long-term surviv ors have been reported. We report an infant girl, born to a consanguin eous couple, with craniofacial and skeletal anomalies, consistent with ABS, in addition to atresia of the esophagus and trisomy 21.
