ABSTRACT

Objective: To report a rare familial syndrome with autosomic dominant type inherited and variable expressivity in four generations. The syndrome is characterized by: radioulnar synostosis, blepharophimosis, blepharoptosis, clinodactyly of fifth finger, Dubois sign and short stature; it corresponds to Jorgenson-Lenz syndrome, reported in 1974 and catalogued like a ectodermal dismorphy; we present too a literature review of radioulnar synostosis, it has been reported 350 cases and may be present on different syndromes, we discuss different surgical technics since 1912, we report a new characteristic of Jorgenson-Lenz syndrome, never reported on previous literature, an anomalous anastomosis between median and ulnar nerves, called Martin-Gruber anastomosis, caused by segmentation defect when there is synostosis radioulnar.
