Abstract
- Attention to a careful diagnostic work-up should be given to patients with postaxial polydactyly or apparently isolated hypothalamic hamartomas. Early recognition of the condition is critical for management, particularly for anticipating and preventing endocrine emergencies. Conservative management of the hypothalamic hamartoma should be stressed. Finally, detailed genetic counseling should be provided to the family regarding autosomal-dominant inheritance as well as the wide range of interfamilial and intrafamilial variability.
