Many syndromes are named in an eponymous fashion after the original authors, or occasionally after the original patients, but the name of this syndrome is derived from the hospitals where the first two patients were described. In 1973 Pelletier and Feingold'described a boy seenat the Boston Floating Hospital with short stature, delayed speech development, and a striking facial appearance. A further report of a similar case was published in 1974 by Leisti et al. 2 Their patient attended the Harbor General Hospital, Torrance, California. Theysuggested the term Floating-Harbor syndrome, which for its memorable quality is likely to become established. Since the original reports there has been one further publicationon thissyndrome. Robinsonetal3 reviewed six further patients from different centres in 1988.
