Setleis bitemporal "forceps marks" syndrome and its pathogenesis: a case report

S Matsumoto et al. Acta Paediatr Jpn. 1991 Apr.

Abstract

Setleis bitemporal "forceps marks" syndrome is characterized by "forceps marks" and a peculiar facies. The syndrome has previously been reported mainly in the Puerto Rican population. We describe here a Japanese boy with the syndrome. In addition, the hypothesis is presented that the Setleis syndrome may result from an insufficient migration of neural crest cells into the frontonasal process and the first branchial arch.
