[Pätau syndrome without trisomy karyotype? Danger of restricted thinking in syndrome diagnosis]

(PATAU-SYNDROM ohne Trisomie-Karyotyp? Die Gefahr des "Schubladendenkens" in der Syndromdiagnostik.)

Full Abstract

By means of a case-report the problems of an uncritical usage of the terminus "syndrom" are pointed out. The report concerns with a newborn child clinically showing nearly all morphological characteristics of the "Pätau-Syndrom" without having a chromosomal aberration.
