Abstract
A new case of the Baller-Gerold syndrome is described in a 6.5 yr old black male who presented at birth with bilateral synostoses of the coronal and lambdoidal sutures, bilateral radial aplasia, vertebral anomalies and genitourinary malformations. The parents and siblings were unaffected, and there was no history of consanguinity. A review of the history and physical findings in this patient and in the 4 other patients previously reported in the literature is provided, with a discussion on pathogenesis, prognosis and the possible autosomal recessive mode of inheritance of the syndrome.
