RESUMO
In 1964, Pfeiffer described a syndrome consisting of craniosynostosis, broad thumbs, broad great toes, and partial soft tissue syndactyly of the hands and feet. It belongs to acrocephalosyndactyly syndromes. We describe a male baby product of an eighth full-term uncomplicated uncontrolled pregnancy, mother and father normal and unrelated, 32 and 50 years old, respectively. He had all diagnostic and prognostic criteria of Subtype 2 Pfeiffer's Syndrome. The clinical, radiological, tomographic, and genetic aspects are discussed.

Werner in 1915, described a patient is characterized by a tibial bilateral aplasia or hypoplasia, polydactyly and absent thumbs. Autosomal dominant inheritance is demonstrated, with variable expressivity. The objective of this work is to describe a child with clinic and radiologic signs of Tibial Hypoplasia with Polydactyly. The genealogic study allowed us to suppose that the gene has a variable expressivity, since in the maternal branch, malformations such as syndactyly of hands, proximal implantation of thumbs and tibiae vara, have been found. The clinic, radiologic, and genetic aspects are discussed.
