[1] Unlike other genetic syndromes, people with this syndrome don't exhibit intellectual disabilities ...
ICF syndrome patients exhibit facial anomalies which include hypertelorism, low-set ears, epicanthal folds and macroglossia.

This disorder was first discovered in 1968, [4] when a mother and 3 of her children (4 cases) were described with the symptoms mentioned above. In this case, additional features were found in a majority of the patients; three of the patients had esophageal indentation and left ligamentum arteriosum, two of the patients, a still-born baby, had anencephaly.
Idiopathic orbital inflammatory (IOI) disease refers to a marginated mass-like enhancing soft tissue involving any area of the orbit.It is the most common painful orbital mass in the adult population, and is associated with proptosis, cranial nerve palsy (Tolosa–Hunt syndrome), uveitis, and retinal detachment.
Frontonasal dysplasia (FND) is a congenital malformation of the midface. [1] For the diagnosis of FND, a patient should present at least two of the following characteristics: hypertelorism (an increased distance between the eyes), a wide nasal root, vertical midline cleft of the nose and/or upper lip, cleft of the wings of the nose, malformed nasal tip, encephalocele (an opening of the skull ...
Exophthalmos (also called exophthalmus, exophthalmia, proptosis, or exorbitism) is a bulging of the eye anteriorly out of the orbit.Exophthalmos can be either bilateral (as is often seen in Graves' disease) or unilateral (as is often seen in an orbital tumor).
Congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA), also known as Beals–Hecht syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant congenital connective tissue disorder. [1] As with Marfan syndrome , people with CCA typically have an arm span that is greater than their height and very long fingers and toes . [ 2 ]
