(1991) described an infant with cutis laxa, emphysema, striking cardiac abnormalities, and a diaphragmatic hernia, leading to death at the age of 22 weeks. The infant had mild contractures at the elbows, hips, and knees, with bilateral hip dislocation. Arachnodactyly was striking. Bonneau et al. (1991) called the condition neonatal cutis laxa with marfanoid phenotype. Bonneau et al. (1991) pointed to reports of some 12 cases of neonatal 'Marfan syndrome' which might represent this same syndrome. These included the cases of Neimann et al. (1968), Hohn and Webb (1971), Lababidi and Monzon (1981), Buchanan and Wyatt (1985), Day and Burke (1986), and Gross et al. (1989).
