Waardenburg syndrome Type 2- A case report
Abstract
Abstract : Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a rare
autosomally inherited disorder of neural crest cell
development characterized by varying degrees of hearing
loss and pigmentary changes affecting eye, hair and
skin.Four subtypes of the disease are recognized based on
the clinical presentation. A careful clinical evaluation is
required to differentiate various types of WS. We describe
here a case of WS Type 2 who presented to our outpatient
department.
