Am J Med Genet. 1990 Sep;37(1):106-8. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320370125.

Abstract

Here we report on a boy with Hirschsprung megacolon associated with microcephaly, narrow palpebral fissures, broad nasal bridge, congenital heart defect, cryptorchidism, wide-base gait, short stature, developmental delay and abnormal computed tomography (CT) brain scan. The findings are compared with those of previously described patients with the same syndrome.
