Nager tipi akrofasiyal disostoz, kraniyofasiyal bölge ve ekstremiteleri ilgilendiren deformitelerin olduğu, diğer sistemlere ait anomalilerin eşlik edebildiği nadir görülen bir genetik bozukluktur. Şimdiye kadar yaklaşık 80 vaka bildirilmiştir. Vakamızda belirgin mikrognati , malar ve maksiller hipoplazi, yarık damak, düşük kulak, antevert burun delikleri, sol kulakta işitme azlığı, baş parmak, radius yokluğu, kısa kol, tibia hipoplazisi, ayak bileği deformitesi mevcuttu. Hasta altıncı ayında beslenme güçlüğüne bağlı malnütrisyon ve enfeksiyon nedeniyle kaybedildi. Vakayı, diğer kraniyofasiyal (mandibulofasiyal) ve akrofasiyal disostoz sendromlarından ayırt edici özeliklerini vurgulamak, sendromda alt ekstremite anomalileri nadir olmasına rağmen vakamızda farklı bir klinik prezentasyon bulunduğu için sunmaya değer bulduk.
Nager type acrofacial dysostosis is a rare genetic disorder which is seen with the deformities of craniofacial region and extremities,which may accompany with sistemic disorders. To date approximately 80 cases have been reported. Our case had prominent micrognathia, malar and maxillary hypoplasia, cleft palate, low set ears, antevert nares, hearing loss in the left ear, the absence of thumb and radius, short arm, hypoplasia of the tibia and ankle deformity. The patient was died because of the malnutrition due to feeding difficulties and infection at the sixth month. We herein present this case to emphasize the distinguishing features of this syndrome from other syndromes of craniofacial (mandibulofacial) and acrofacial dysostosis as our case had a different clinical presentation since lower extremity anomalies are rarely seen in Nager type acrofacial dysostosis
