Perhaps what you are looking for is at the following URL: http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Omim/dispmim?247990 MacDermot and Winter (1989) described a seemingly 'new' syndrome with facial anomalies, microcephaly, hypoplastic genitalia, and failure of psychomotor development. The 2 brothers were from a consanguineous Moslem family. They showed prenatal onset of growth deficiency and had convulsions from birth. Atypical anomalies consisted of a prominent glabella, arched eyebrows, a low upswept frontal hairline, large posteriorly rotated ears with overfolded upper helices, partial camptodactyly, and wide-spaced nipples. Death occurred at 21 days and 7 months, respectively. Postmortem examination showed dilated cerebral ventricles and hydronephrosis.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
