CONCLUSIONS: We present a rare case of a prematurely born infant with a severe phenotype of ablepharon-macrostomia syndrome, surgically treated with masquerade flaps to preserve corneal health and allow bilateral visual input. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Joint Deformity

  It is characterized by the presence of distinctive facial features (small mouth, midface hypoplasia, short nose, drooping of the eyelids, deep folds in the area between the nose and the lips, and strabismus), joint deformities that lead to permanently [icd10data.com]

• Lanugo

  Ablepharon-macrostomia syndrome (AMS) is a rare condition comprising severe deficiency of the anterior lamella of both eyelids, abnormal ears, macrostomia, anomalous genitalia, redundant skin, and absence of lanugo. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Alopecia

  Additional features include alopecia or sparse hair, hypoplastic malar region, redundant skin, rudimentary nipples, abnormal genitalia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Symptoms [ edit ] Absent/short eyelids Absent eyebrows Absent eyelashes External ear abnormalities Alopecia Genetics [ edit ] AMS is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. [3] [4] Like Barber-Say syndrome, AMS is caused by mutations in the TWIST2 [en.wikipedia.org]

  Symptoms Absent/short eyelids Absent eyebrows Absent eyelashes External ear abnormalities Alopecia Treatment Treatment usually involves plastic and reconstructive surgery. [dictionary.sensagent.com]

  Symptoms Absent/short eyelids Absent eyebrows Absent eyelashes External ear abnormalities Alopecia Treatment Treatment usually involves plastic and reconstructive surgery. Surgery may be needed to correct undescended testes or hernias. [checkrare.com]

  Some people with AMS could also have very thin or sparse hair (alopecia); their skin appears to be wrinkled, dry, coarse, or thick; their fingers could also be webbed and with inadequate extension; the genitalia could have external malformations. [illnessopedia.org]

• Absence of Subcutaneous Fat

  Histologically, the bitemporal lesion is an ectodermal dysplasia with near absence of subcutaneous fat, suggesting insufficient migration of neural crest cells into the frontonasal process and the first branchial arch. [uniprot.org]

• Broad Nasal Bridge

  RESULTS: A prematurely born male baby presented with severe ablepharon, hypertelorism, macrostomia, low-set dysplastic ears, broad nasal bridge, coarse and redundant body skin, absent scalp and body hair, lax abdominal wall, absent nipples, camptodactyly [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnosis and Prognosis: Pediatricians in consultation with medical geneticists are likely to make the diagnosis. Ophthalmologists can confirm the characteristics of the eyelid malformations and suggest therapy for drying of the cornea. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Apert Syndrome Prognosis Children with Apert syndrome usually require surgery for release of the skull bones to allow a chance for the brain to develop normally. [webmd.com]

Prognosis: Normal lifespan. Ancillary treatments and support: It would seem wise to do appropriate radiographic studies in all patients with premature closure of cranial sutures. [wohproject.org]
