Description
Summary:Marshall-Smith syndrome is a rare congenital condition, characterized by advanced bone age, facial anomalies and relative failure to thrive. We report a newborn male with Marshall-Smith syndrome and summarize 21 previously reported cases.

This patient's findings broaden the phenotypic spectrum seen in Marshall-Smith syndrome.
