Abstract
Alstrom Hallgren syndrome is a rare ciliopathy first described in 1959. It is characterised by progressive cone-rod dystrophy leading to blindness, sensorineural hearing loss, childhood obesity and congestive heart failure. Its pathogenesis is related to development of insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We report a case of a 20-year-old presenting with decompensated heart failure and had been blind since childhood who was eventually diagnosed as Alstrom syndrome based on clinical criteria.
