Carpenter syndrome, also called acrocephalopolysyndactyly type II,[1] is an extremely rare autosomal recessive[2] congenital disorder characterized by craniofacial malformations, obesity, syndactyly, and polydactyly.[2] Acrocephalopolysyndactyly is a variation of acrocephalosyndactyly that presents with polydactyly.

It was first characterized in 1909, and is named for George Alfred Carpenter.[3][4]
