Abstract :
Introduction: Robinow syndrome (RS) is an infrequent genetic condition that is characterized by a dysmorphic face, dental anomaly, short stature, mesomelic limb shortening, hand and foot anomalies, and hypoplastic genitalia. The Robinow syndrome has been reported from the Arab countries and other Asian countries, but has not been reported in Iranian population so far. Case Presentation: A new born (one day old) infant that had the signs of Robinow syndrome. Discussion: We describe an Iranian new born infant with Robinow syndrome signs in order to improve the science and epidemiology related to this disorder.
