Waardenburg Syndrome type 1: A case report

Abstract

Waardenburg Syndrome (WS) is a rare hereditary disorder that is characterized by the clinical manifestations of oculocutaneous anomalies of pigmentation, congenital deafness, dystopia canthorum, and broad nasal root. It demonstrates both genetically and clinically heterogenous characteristics. In this article, we report an 11-month-old boy with WS1, one of four clinicat types of WS. He exhibited white forelock, hypopigmented macules and patches, heterochromia irides, and dystopia canthorum. © 2011 Dermatology Online Journal.
