Popis: | Five individuals in four generations affected with the Saethre-Chotzen syndrome are reported. Serial roentgencephalometric data obtained pre- and postoperatively on the proband were compared with similar measurements on the affected mother and maternal uncle, both of whom had not had operative corrections. Similarity in skull form among the affected individuals was demonstrated. Head circumference, as an index of cranial growth or intracranial capacity, was misleading in assessing the intellectual potential of the affected adults. In contrast, cranial capacity, as measured by the modulus, was found to be more reliable. |
