Pitt, D. and Hopkins, I. (1978). Aust. Paediatr. J ., 14, 182–184. A syndrome of mental retardation: wide mouth and intermittent overbreathing. Two retarded children are described, with similar facies, consisting of an unusually wide mouth and palate, thick fleshy lips, and a broad‐beaked nose. They also had an unusual respiratory rhythm, clubbing of the fingers, and abnormal electroencephalograms. This may represent a new syndrome.
