The McKusick-Dungy-Kaufman syndrome is characterized by hydrometrocolpos, polydactyly and congenital heart disease. Two of these 3 main symptoms should be present for the diagnosis. Associated anomalies are mainly found in the urogenital tract, the gastro-intestinal tract and the skeletal system. On the basis of 2 patients and the literature the clinical features and the genetic aspects of this syndrome are reviewed. The clinical variability and the severity of the syndrome are stressed. Evidence for an autosomal recessive inheritance is given. Because of the clinical variability it seems preferable to use the term complex rather than syndrome.

An infant was found to have the previously known manifestations of the Kaufman syndrome (hydrometrocolpos, postaxial polydactyly, and congenital heart disease) but also imperforate anus, malrotation of gut, congenital hip dislocation, and urogenital sinus. All of these anomalies have been separately reported in other cases of the syndrome. Three previously unreported problems present in this case were choanal atresia, pituitary dysplasia, and vertebral anomalies; these may well be component manifestations of the syndrome and not sporadic occurrences in our patient. Of particular clinical importance were the hypoglucocorticism and the hypoglucocorticism secondary to the pituitary dysplasia.
