The physical abnormalities associated with Adams-Oliver syndrome vary greatly among affected individuals. While some cases may be very mild, others may be severe. Limb and scalp defects are the most common findings. Infants with Adams-Oliver syndrome also exhibit malformations of the fingers, toes, hands, and/or feet. Some affected infants may have...
Infants with Adams-Oliver syndrome may exhibit one or multiple hairless scarred areas of skin on the scalp. The depth and size (diameter) of the lesions vary greatly from case to case. In some affected individuals, the scalp lesions may become ulcerated or infected. However, in most cases, these skin lesions heal without treatment (spontaneously) w...
In severe cases, the scalp and vascular defects described above may be associated with an underlying bone defect, including absence of bone in certain areas of the skull. In very severe cases, certain tissues beneath the skull may become exposed, resulting in increased susceptibility to excessive bleeding (hemorrhage) and/or bacterial infections su...
Most cases of AOS appear to follow autosomal dominant inheritance. Dominant genetic disorders occur when only a single copy of an abnormal gene is necessary to cause a particular disease. The abnormal gene can be inherited from either parent or can be the result of a new mutation (gene change) in the affected individual. The risk of passing the abn...
Autosomal recessive inheritance has also been reported. Recessive genetic disorders occur when an individual inherits two copies of an abnormal gene for the same trait, one from each parent. If an individual receives one normal gene and one gene for the disease, the person will be a carrier for the disease but usually will not show symptoms. The ri...
Adams-Oliver syndrome is an extremely rare disorder that appears to affect males and females in equal numbers. More than 125 affected individuals have been reported in the medical literature. The major physical features of Adams-Oliver syndrome (i.e., scalp defects and limb abnormalities) are apparent at birth (congenital).
Symptoms of the following disorders can be similar to those of Adams-Oliver syndrome. Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis: The following disorders may be associated with Adams-Oliver syndrome as secondary characteristics. They are not necessary for a differential diagnosis: The diagnosis of Adams-Oliver syndrome may be suspected ...
Bart type epidermolysis bullosa dystrophica (Bart syndrome) is a rare skin disorder in which congenital absence of the skin in certain areas (localized) may be a major feature. In most cases, affected individuals may also have fragile skin that blisters upon exposure to minor trauma and/or absence or malformation (dystrophy) of the fingernails and ...
There are other congenital disorders (e.g., focal dermal hypoplasia, trisomy 13 syndrome, amniotic bands, Johanson-Blizzard syndrome, etc.) that may be characterized by scalp and skull defects that occur in association with abnormalities of the hands and feet. These disorders usually have other physical features that may differentiate them from Ada...
