Pallister Hall syndrome (PHS)

The hallmark features of PHS include hypothalamic hamartoma, central polydactyly, postaxial polydactyly type A or B, bifid epiglottis or laryngeal cleft, imperforate anus, renal malformations, genitourinary abnormalities, pulmonary segmentation, and short limbs. A diagnosis can be made in a proband with central polydactyly and hypothalamic hamartoma or when a first degree relative of a proband has hypothalamic hamartoma or central or postaxial polydactyly (Biesecker, 2010).
