Abstract
Fraser syndrome is a very rare developmental disorder of autosomal recessive inheritance. It is characterized by crytopthalmus, syndactyly and genital abnormalities. The diagnosis is usually made at birth from the obvious malformations, occasionally made on prenatal ultrasound. We report a newborn showing clinical findings associated with Fraser syndrome. She was diagnosed as Fraser Syndrome with 3 major (cryptophthalmos, syndactyly, ambigius genitalia), and 3 minor criterias (renal agenesis, umbilical herni, nose deformity). She had also hypertelorism, low neck, widely spaced nipples, agenesis of corpus callosum
Keywords: Crytopthalmus, syndactyly, ambigius genitalia, Fraser syndrome
