We report on two sisters with an unusual form of craniosynostosis, protruding nasal spine, micrognathia, short limbs, lung hypoplasia, absent or hypoplastic gallbladder, short intestine with ileal distention, hypoplastic uterus, and intrauterine growth retardation. This combination of defects appears to be a newly recognized and probably autosomal recessive disorder. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
