[Popliteal pterygium syndrome. A exceptional case]

Abstract

We report the case of a patient with a popliteal pterygium syndrome, a rare malformation associating, in its complete form, cleft lip and cleft palate, cleft lower lip, intergingival synechia, defects of the genito-urinary tract and popliteal pterygium. Based on this observation and a review of the literature, the phenotypic and genotypic aspects of this malformation were discussed together with adapted therapeutic management and genetic counselling.
