Yim–Ebbin syndrome

Yim–Ebbin syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by the absence of arms, a cleft lip and palate, hydrocephalus, and an iris coloboma.[1] It was first described by Yim and Ebbin in 1982,[2] and later by Thomas and Donnai in 1994.[3] In 1996, a third case was reported by Froster et al. who suggested that the three cases were related and represented a distinct syndrome.[4] In 2000, a similar case was reported by Pierri et al.[5]
