Arkless-Graham syndrome, also known as acrodysostosis, is a very rare congenital disorder that affects the development of the bones, especially those of the hands, feet, and face.

Features: It can be associated with short fingers, particular facial features such as a small nose and, in some cases, short stature and differences in development.

Origin: It is related to genetic changes present from birth that influence the growth of the skeleton.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician coordinates the evaluation and can draw on geneticists and orthopedic surgeons for follow-up of growth and development. When differences are observed in a child's bone development, it is advisable to raise them with a professional for a careful evaluation.
