Pterygium syndrome, also known as multiple pterygium syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder that primarily affects neuromuscular and skeletal functions. It occurs due to disrupted communication between nerve and muscle cells during early fetal development. The syndrome presents in two clinical forms, with the severity of symptoms varying between individuals. Multiple pterygium syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Patients with this syndrome commonly exhibit multiple skin webbing, musculoskeletal anomalies, and distinctive facial features.This activity provides an overview of the etiology, classification, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and management of multiple pterygium syndrome. It emphasizes the importance of an interprofessional or multidisciplinary team in assessing and treating patients with this condition. Early diagnosis and management are critical in improving outcomes for affected individuals.
