Extractions: Fig. 1 ). His ears were low set with overfolded margins. He had a crease below the lip. Hands were small with characteristic swan neck deformity of fingers due to hyperextension at proximal inter-phalangeal joints and flexion at distal interphalangeal joints ( Fig. 2 ). He had shawl scrotum and was in stage II of sexual maturity scale. Echocardiogram and routine blood tests were normal. This child is a typical case of Aarskog syndrome with all the primary and most of the secondary diagnostic criteria. Aarskog Syndrome is a common syndrome of proportionate short stature described by Aarskog in 1970. The facial dysmorphic features are subtle but together give a characteristic appearance. Shawl scrotum without hypoplastic genitalia in a child with short stature is quite diagnostic of Aarskog syndrome but may be absent in 20% of cases and the appearance is lost in postpubertal boys. Most patients are of normal or low normal intelligence, however, mild and moderate mental retardation may be present in upto 30% of cases. Height initially is less than third centile, but there is usually some catch-up growth during puberty, which may be delayed in some cases. Aarskog syndrome is an X linked disorder and the responsible gene is faciogenital dysplasia (FGD1) gene on Xp11.21.
