ABSTRACT |
Waardenburg's syndrome is estimated to account for 1 to 7% of all congenital deafness. The primary features of the syndrome include lateral displacement of the medial canthi and lacrimal punctae, a flat nasal root, white forelock, unilateral or bilateral congenital deafness, some degree of heterochromia of the iris, and hyperplasia of the eyebrows. This syndrome was described at first by Waardenburg in 1951, and since that time there have been reports of the same syndrome in both the English (Partington 1959) and American (Di George, 1960) literatures. The authors have experienced 3 cases of Waardenburg's syndrome, and report these with literature review. |
