ACROCEPHALOSYNDACTYLY SYNDROMES

Course overview

Acrocephalosyndactyly (AC) syndromes are a group of rare genetic conditions characterized by specific skull, facial, and hand deformities. Abnormal skull shape due to craniosynostosis or premature fusion of the sutures or soft fontanelles is the dominant feature of AC syndromes. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of acrocephalosyndactyly syndromes, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
