Abstract
Carpenter in 1901 (Carpenter 1901) described two living siblings and one stillborn sibling with peculiar facies, acrocephaly, brachydactyly, syndactyly of the hands, and preaxial polydactyly and syndactyly of the toes. Temtamy in 1966 (Temtamy 1966) documented 12 additional cases (ten of which were familial) and proposed the eponymous designation “Carpenter syndrome.”
