CASE REPORT OF LATE DIAGNOSIS OF CHARGE SYNDROME

NAGARAJAN S

Abstract


CHARGE syndrome is a rare, recently well  recognized entity with non-random pattern of congenital anomalies. The syndrome associations consist of C-coloboma of the eyes, H-heart disease, A-atresia of the choanae,    R-retarded growth and development, G - genitourinary anomalies and E-ear anomalies and hearing loss. All    anomalies are not seen in every case and a varied spectrum of associations is seen in most of the cases. The exact    incidence is not known. However, the reported prevalence is approximately 110,000 births . We report one such case .
