A rare genetic, multiple congenital malformation syndrome characterized by brain anomalies (thinning of the corpus callosum with dilatation of ventricles), intellectual disability, ectodermal dysplasia, skeletal deformities (vertebral anomalies, scoliosis, polydactyly), ear/eye anomalies (maldevelopment, small optic nerves, low set and large ears with hearing loss) and kidney dysplasia/hypoplasia. In the case that clinical manifestation is also associated to Hirschsprung disease and cleft palate or cryptorchidism, it is named as BRESHECK syndrome.
