Hand and foot deformity with flat facies is a rare congenital malformation syndrome, where an individual has features such as facial dysmorphism, short stature, and other malformations with the limbs.[1][2][3]
Individuals with the condition can also have mental retardation, flat face, coarse hair, or camptodactyly.[4]
This disorder is present at birth but isn't diagnosed until middle childhood.[5]
The syndrome was first described by Alan E. H. Emery and Matilda M. Nelson of the University of Edinburgh in 1970.[6] There have been no further reports in the literature since 1970.[1]
