Diagnostic criteria in Pai syndrome: results of a case series and a literature review

Pai syndrome was originally described as the association of a midline cleft lip, midline facial polyps, and lipoma of the central nervous system. However, only a few patients present with the full triad, and most exhibit a wide spectrum of phenotypic variability. The aim of this study was to phenotypically delineate Pai syndrome and to propose new criteria to facilitate a clinical diagnosis in the future. The study cohort consisted of seven case patients and an additional 60 cases diagnosed with Pai syndrome identified in a literature review.
