ABSTRACT

Seckel syndrome is a rare entity characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, micrognathia, dwarfism and facies of a bird. His pattern of presentation is heterogeneous and therefore some patients are considered Seckel-Like syndrome. We report a case of a child with these characteristics and studies for detection. The prognosis depends on the defects presented, but for the delay in growth and impaired mental development, is considered poor. Genetic counseling of parents is essential for prevention and support.
