Femoral hypoplasia-unusual facies syndrome (FHUFS) or femoral facial syndrome is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by unilateral or bilateral femoral hypoplasia along with various dysmorphic facial features such as a short nose with a broad tip, a long philtrum, a thin upper lip, upward slanting palpebral fissures, and micrognathia. 1,2 Thorough physical and airway examination is necessary because FHUFS can also present with Pierre Robin sequence. 3 The etiology of FHUFS is unknown with a prevalence of <1/1,000,000. 4 FHUFS mirrors caudal regression syndrome or sirenomelia, which occurs due to insufficient mesoderm in the caudal area of the embryo.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
