Abstract
Abstract:
Introduction:
Freeman Sheldon syndrome is a rare genetic disease of varying severity with craniocarpotarsal manifestations, which has many difficulties in orthopedic management also anaesthetic concerns about intubation difficulties and malignant hyperthermia and mutch tendency of deformities for recurrence.
Objective:
Describe clinically manifestations of a patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome.
Presentation of the case:
An Iranian girl presents mask-like face, deep sunken eyes,ptosis, wide nasal bridge, small mouth with the facial typical appearance of a whistler, dental crowding and high narrow palate, skin dimple on the chin in the shape of an H-shape and abnormally long philtrum. defect in the hands of typical windmill vane hand and clasped thumb deformity ,Resistant contracture of the fingers with ulnar deviation and bilateral rigid clubfoot, and failure to thrive.

it is best to start treatment without delay regarding future prognosis at least with nonoperative modalities.
