Opis

Hereditary syndromes are generally named after the physician or a group of physicians that recognized or described them or initially provided accurate, clinical feature or the best description of the syndrome. Some genetic syndromes have been attributed unfairly and inappropriately to physicians other than those first described or recognized them. The main aim of this book is to describe the historic documentation of a rare syndrome "Berry-Treacher Collins syndrome" which has been named inappropriately by many authors, and without giving the necessary credits to the authors first recognized and described it. The occurrence of Berry-Treacher Collins syndrome in Iraq has not been reported or documented. In addition to providing the historical documentation of this syndrome, particularly the early history of its documentation during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s , this book describes the first case of this rare syndrome in Iraq.
