There is considerable confusion regarding their classification and ascertainment into various syndromes. We tried to look into the various aspects of hemihyperplasia syndromes. METHODS: Records of 17 consecutive cases of hemihyperplasia were reviewed and were ascertained into various syndromes based on available literature and diagnostic criteria. RESULTS: Of the 17 cases with hemihyperplasia, 3 cases satisfied the diagnostic criteria for Proteus syndrome. One patient each was ascertained as Klippel Trenaunay Weber syndrome and Hemihyperplasia- Multiple lipomatosis. 9 cases were classified as isolated hemihyperplasia. We found two novel associations with hemihyperplasia; namely Ehlers-Danlos syndrome like skin changes and Poland anomaly on the affected side. The remaining 3 cases had miscellaneous disorders with limb asymmetry, namely Neurofibromatosis Type I in 2 cases and Olliers disease in one case. CONCLUSION: Efforts to diagnose syndromes of hemihyperplasia help in genetic counseling.
