Abstract
We report on a newborn male infant who presented the typical findings of achondrogenesis type II (Langer‐Saldino), and who also showed postaxial polydactyly on both feet and bilateral microtia. Polydactyly is frequently part of the short‐rib syndromes, but has not been reported in achondrogenesis. The hypothesis of polydactyly as part of a contiguous gene syndrome is discussed.Keywords
