Several investigators have suggested that the Marshall syndrome and the Weaver syndrome are one entity because of some phenotypic overlap. This paper reviews the findings in nine additional patients with the Marshall syndrome and concludes that the syndromes are two distinct entities. In the Marshall syndrome there is a characteristic facies, failure to thrive in terms of height, weight, and psychomotor development, and early death. In the Weaver syndome the infants thrive too well: weight and heights are much above normal. They also have increased bifrontal diameters, hypertonia, prominent finger pads, and thin, deep-set nails, and the face is quite different from the Marshall facies.
几位研究者认为,由于某些表型重叠,马歇尔综合征和韦弗综合征是同一病症。本文回顾了另外9例马歇尔综合征患者的研究结果,并得出结论:这两种综合征是两种不同的病症。马歇尔综合征有其特征性面容,在身高、体重和精神运动发育方面生长发育迟缓,且早夭。在韦弗综合征中,婴儿生长发育过好:体重和身高远高于正常水平。他们还伴有双额径增加、张力亢进、指腹突出以及指甲薄且深陷,其面容与马歇尔面容截然不同。
