Cornelia de Lange syndrome

Abstract

The article presents the results of dynamic monitoring of a patient with Cornelia de Lange syndrome. The patient was born with archetypal facial features, multiple stigmas of dysembriogenesis, pre– and postnatal growth retardation and perinatal pathology of the brain in the form of spastic tetraparesis. Later, the child progressed with psychomotor development delay, hearing and vision disorders. Based on the conducted examination, consultations of specialists, including genetics, the diagnosis of «Cornelia de Lange syndrome» was established. To make this diagnosis, specific facial features in combination with additional criteria are sufficient.
