Abstract
The use of the database POSSUM (Pictures of Standard Syndromes and Undiagnosed Malformations) was evaluated over a period of 1 1/2 years in 49 children with multiple congenital anomalies. A specific diagnosis was obtained in 23 cases and POSSUM contributed significantly to a diagnosis in 13 cases. We conclude that a computerized approach is valuable in the evaluation of dysmorphic syndromes.
