Three members of a family are described who have a curious facies due to a severely depressed nasal bridge, anteverted nostrils, wide-set eyes, high myopia, and short stature. The facial appearance is due to faulty development of the ethmoid bone, which also causes a short anterior cranial fossa. One member of the family was autistic and had a cleft palate. These cases closely resemble, but are thought to be distinct from, a family described by Marshall (1958) whose members had a similar facies which appeared to be due to a defective maxilla, deafness, myopia, and cataracts which were subject to many complications. One further case is described resembling Marshall's cases even more closely; she is deaf but does not have cataracts.
本文描述了一个家族的三名成员,他们因鼻梁严重凹陷、鼻孔前倾、眼距过宽、高度近视和身材矮小而面容奇特。面部外观是由于筛骨发育不良所致,这也导致了前颅窝短小。该家族的一名成员患有自闭症且腭裂。这些病例与马歇尔(1958年)描述的一个家族极为相似,但又被认为有所不同,马歇尔家族成员有类似的面容,似乎是由于上颌骨缺陷、耳聋、近视和易出现多种并发症的白内障所致。还描述了另外一个病例,与马歇尔家族的病例更为相似;她耳聋但没有白内障。
