Abstract
Purpose : To describe an infant affected by Klinefelter syndrome, who also demonstrated clinical signs of Moebius syndrome. Methods : A clinical case report. Results : A male infant was born full-term to a healthy couple after an unremarkable pregnancy. Several dysmorphic features and generalized hypotonia were noted at birth. Chromosome study revealed a 47, XXY chromosome pattern, which is consistent with Klinefelter syndrome. The patient also demonstrated clinical findings of Moebius syndrome: bilateral horizontal gaze palsy, bilateral cranial nerve seven palsy, pointed tongue, pectoral muscle hypoplasia, and clubfeet. Conclusion : We report the first clinical case of a patient with Klinefelter syndrome who was also affected by Moebius syndrome. Although clinically intriguing, coexistence of the two syndromes most likely represents a chance occurrence.
