WOLF - HIRSCHORN SYNDROME: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

We report on a case of Wolf-Hirschorn Syndrome with motor and mental retardation and dysmorphic facial feature. She was born 1250 g at term. Her parents were first cousins. She had frontal bossing, hypertelorism, esotropia, high palate. congenital lacrimal duct obstruction on the left side, down-turned comers of mouth, short philtrum. micrognathia. auricular pit. low posterior hair line, hyperconvex nail, sacral dimple and hypotonia Echocardiography showed atrial septal defect and pulmoner stenosis. Denver II developmental screening test represented developmental milestones below 4 months old. Karyotype of case showed [46.XX,del(4)(p15.2)]. Balanced reciprocal translocation was detected in her mother's cytogenetic analysis [46.XX. t(4;7)(p 15.2p2.2)]. We present this case because of having a rare chromosomal anomaly besides having consanguineous marriage between her parents. In conclusion it is suggested that cytogenetic analysis is useful and should be pertormed in all dysmorphic cases with multiple anomalies.
