To the Editor, Apert syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by several clinical manifestations including craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia, and symmetric syndactyly of both hands and feet. Type B is located between the left carotid artery and left subclavian arteries, while type C is located between the left carotid artery and innominate arteries.[6] In this current case report, the patient was diagnosed with IAA type B. Cohen and his colleagues have conducted the most extensive clinical study about patients with Apert syndrome who also had congenital heart diseases. Cohen et al. investigated 136 patients with Apert arch syndrome and reported a 10% incidence rate of cardiac anomaly. [Extracted from the article]
