Preferred Label : Microcephaly with cervical spine fusion anomalies;
Type : Other, mainly phenotypes with suspected mendelian basis;
Description : Zackai et al. (1972) described brothers, from a consanguineous marriage, who had microcephaly,
mild mental retardation, short stature, and skeletal anomalies. The facies were similar
to those in Seckel syndrome. One brother had fusion C6-7 with instability at C2-3
producing spinal cord compression. The other brother had fusion at C2-3 and C7-T1.
