Abstract
We report on a newborn male infant who presented the typical findings of achondrogenesis type II (Langer-Saldino), and who also showed posta xial polydactyly on both feet and bilateral microtia. Polydactyly is f requently part of the short-rib syndromes, but has not been reported i n achondrogenesis. The hypothesis of polydactyly as part of a contiguo us gene syndrome is discussed.
