Dubowitz Syndrome: case report

The authors present a 7-year-old child with Dubowitz syndrome, diagnosed by means of a clinical-genetic examination, showing manifestations in various systems, including ophthalmologic alterations such as: epicanthal folds and exotropia associated with a small incomitant vertical component and discret alphabetic A variation. We discuss the importance of the ophthalmologist in the early diagnosis and early indication for treatment of the patients with this syndrome and propose the most adequate follow-up of these patients.
