Escobar syndrome is a rare condition with autosomal-recessive inheritance, 
characterised by multiple pterygia, kyphoscoliosis, multiple joint contractures 
and craniofacial dysmorphisms. A number of other abnormalities are also 
attributed to the syndrome. Here, we present a case of isolated extrinsic 
extensor-tendon hypoplasia of the right index finger in a 7-year-old patient 
with Escobar syndrome. To our knowledge, this has not been previously described 
in connection with this syndrome.
