Abstract

Dubowitz syndrome was first reported in 1965 by Victor Dubowitz. Dubowitz syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by microcephaly, short stature, abnormal faces, eczematous skin eruption, and mild to severe mental retardation. In this review, we describe a female newborn with microcephaly, micrognathia, high narrow, syndactyly, clinodactyly, ventricular septal defect, poor feeding and sacral dimple. Here, we heard the requirement to report this case because of rarity.
