Pfeiffer syndrome

Pfeiffer syndrome (PS) is a common form of acrocephalosyndactyly (see this term), a group of inherited congenital malformation disorders, characterized by variable degrees of bicoronal craniosynostosis, variable hand and foot malformations and various other associated manifestations.

Brachydactyly

Digits that appear disproportionately short compared to the hand/foot. The word brachydactyly is used here to describe a series distinct patterns of shortened digits (brachydactyly types A-E). This is the sense used here.
