Type 2 is categorized by cloverleaf skull, ocular proptosis, broad thumbs, visceral anomalies, and severe neurologic compromise.
Type 3 is categorized by craniosynostosis, severe ocular proptosis without cloverleaf skull, visceral anomalies, and severe neurologic compromise.
The Ins and Outs of Genu Flexum
