SUMMARY The Russell‐Silver's dwarf is a symptom complex made up of shortness of stature, small size for gestation age, variation in sexual development, asymmetry, peculiar facies, cafe‐au lait spots, clinodactyly and syndactyly. Pseudohydrocephalus may be a prominent feature. Knowledge of the syndrome will prevent useless pneumoencephalography.
