摘要：

A total of 31 cases previously diagnosed as having Brachmann-de Lange syndrome were ascertained and examined, of which 11 were thought to have been misdiagnosed. Of those correctly diagnosed, there appeared to be a phenotypic dichotomy with classical and mild cases. Those facial findings of greatest diagnostic value were the combination of the characteristic eyebrows, long philtrum, thin lips and crescent-shaped mouth. The characteristic eyebrows were neat, well defined and arched as though they had been pencilled. This combination of anomalies was absent in postpubertal males but not in postpubertal females. Facial abnormalities most likely to lead to incorrect use of the eponym were hypertrichosis, synophrys, and bushy eyebrows. (C) 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
