Abstract
Two unrelated cases with clinical and autopsy findings of the Smith‐Lemli‐Opitz syndrome are described. Narrowing of the terminal ileum and congenital intestinal aganglionosis was found in both. This is a rare association and the importance of microscopic examination of the intestine in cases of the Smith‐Lemli‐Opitz syndrome is emphasized.Keywords
