Septo‐optic dysplasia with digital anomalies—a recurrent pattern syndrome

A distinct form of septo‐optic dysplasia (SOD) comprises limb malformations in addition to the characteristic CNS and ocular abnormalities. To date, there have been 4 reports, citing 5 affected patients with this combined phenotype. We now add a further case and present neuroradiological images of the CNS findings in this condition. The striking consistency of the limb malformations and their overlap with the Streeter's band phenotype is emphasized. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
