Abstract

Apert’s syndrome is a type 1 acrocephalosyndactyly syndrome presenting predominantly with craniofacial malformations and syndactyly of the hands and feet. A case presenting to the dermatologist with recalcitrant acne on unusual sites and having preauricular skin tags as a previously undescribed clinical feature is being presented and a review of all the cases in dermatological literature has been evaluated.
