General Information of Disease (ID: DISN13U9)

Disease Name Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome
Synonyms
iris coloboma with ptosis hypertelorism and mental retardation; trigonocephaly ptosis intellectual disability; cerebro-frontofacial syndrome, type 3; Fryns-Aftimos syndrome; BRWS; trigonocephaly ptosis coloboma; trigonocephaly ptosis mental retardation; iris coloboma with ptosis hypertelorism and intellectual disability; Baraitser-winter syndrome
Definition
Baraitser-Winter syndrome (BWS) is a malformation syndrome, characterized by facial dysmorphism (hypertelorism with ptosis, broad bulbous nose, ridged metopic suture, arched eyebrows, progressive coarsening of the face), ocular coloboma, pachygyria and/or band heterotopias with antero-posterior gradient, progressive joint stiffening, and intellectual deficit of variable severity, often with severe epilepsy. Pachygyria - epilepsy - intellectual disability - dysmorphism (Fryns-Aftimos syndrome (FA)) corresponds to the appearance of BWS in elderly patients.
