Braddock syndrome

Braddock syndrome is a rare malformation condition that has been described in two siblings. It involves multiple congenital abnormalities that form a cluster of features similar to those seen in VACTERL association. People with this condition may experience a combination of issues that affect their body structure and function. The condition is marked by a number of distinct characteristics including pulmonary hypertension, the presence of laryngeal webs, blue sclerae, abnormal ear shape, and persistent growth deficiency. Despite these challenges, intellectual development is reported to be normal. The syndrome is also known by several synonyms such as Vater-like syndrome with pulmonary hypertension, abnormal ears and growth deficiency, and VATER-like defects with pulmonary hypertension, laryngeal webs, and growth deficiency.

Common symptoms and signs noted in Braddock syndrome include abnormalities that resemble a VACTERL association. These symptoms include pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), the formation of laryngeal webs (thin membranes in the larynx), blue sclerae (a bluish tint to the white of the eyes), unusual ear shapes, and ongoing growth deficiency. It is important to note that despite these physical differences, intellectual development is typically normal.
