ABSTRACT

Apert Syndrome is characterized by craniosynostosis, bilateral syndactyly, and midfacial hypoplasia. Although it was first described by Wheaton in 1894, it was first diagnosed prenatally only a decade ago-with only five cases reported in the literature. A sixth case is reported here. Prenatal diagnosis of Apert syndrome is reviewed.
