Abstract

Previous reports have noted a constant association between the Carpenter syndrome (acrocephalopolysyndactyly, type II) and mental retardation. We report two patients with this condition with normal intelligence. These observations indicate that mental deficiency is not necessarily a component of the Carpenter syndrome and that early surgical correction of the craniosynostoses may improve the chances of normal mentality.

摘要

先前的报告指出卡彭特综合征（Ⅱ型尖头多指畸形）与智力发育迟缓之间存在持续关联。我们报告了两名患有这种疾病但智力正常的患者。这些观察结果表明智力缺陷不一定是卡彭特综合征的一个组成部分，并且早期手术矫正颅骨缝早闭可能会提高智力正常的几率。
