Adams-Oliver syndrome (AOS) is a congenital condition marked by aplasia cutis congenita and terminal limb defects, often accompanied by diverse systemic manifestations. We present a case of a newborn female with scalp aplasia cutis and brachydactyly, but no internal organ involvement. Clinical and imaging assessments identified a scalp bone defect without neurological or cardiac abnormalities.

Herein, we present a case involving a four-month-old infant admitted to our facility due to a prolonged fever complicated by HPS. The diagnosis of GS type 2 was established based on a constellation of clinical and laboratory findings: consanguinity, familial history of early infectious fatalities, ocular-cutaneous hypopigmentation, characteristic silvery hair sheen, onset of HPS, and notably, the pathognomonic appearance upon microscopic examination of a hair sample.
