A Nine-Year-Old Girl With Cornelia de Lange Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects multiple systems. It is characterized by growth delays and psychomotor retardation associated with various anomalies, including hirsutism, facial dysmorphism, cardiac abnormalities, upper-extremity malformations, and gastrointestinal disorders. Early detection and appropriate management of associated disorders are essential for achieving favorable outcomes. We present our first case of Cornelia de Lange syndrome, diagnosed at the age of nine years in the Pediatrics Department of Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda, Morocco.
