Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a rare, inherited, popliteal pterygium syndrome (see this term) characterized by severe popliteal webbing, microcephaly, a typical face with short palpebral fissures, ankyloblepharon, hypoplastic nose, filiform bands between
the jaws and facial
clefts, oligosyndactyly, genital abnormalities, and additional ectodermal anomalies (i.e. absent
hair, eyebrows, lashes, nails). It is often fatal
in the neonatal period, but patients living
until childhood have been reported.
