Scalp defects-postaxial polydactyly
	Foot postaxial polydactyly
Specialty	Medical genetics
Symptoms	Autosomal dominant postaxial polydactyly and scalp defects from birth
Usual onset	Conception
Duration	Lifelong (except polydactyly, which can be corrected)
Causes	Mutation
Prevention	none
Prognosis	Good
Frequency	very rare, only 9 cases have been described in medical literature

Scalp defects-postaxial polydactyly syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by congenital defects of the scalp and type A postaxial polydactyly.^[1]^[2] An additional finding is severe intellectual disability. It is thought to be inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Approximately 9 cases from two families have been described in medical literature.^[3]^[4]^[5]
