ABSTRACT

We present a case of a new born with anormalies diagnosed antenatal, showing at birth structural defects in the middle line, postaxial polidactilia, ambiguous genitalia, and, in his magnetic resonance study with a mass defect on both thalamus. According with de findings in the Pallister Hall syndrome, this patient had characteristics suggesting a variant of such syndrome.
