title: Leprechaunism.
abstract: Leprechaunism is a rare syndrome of unknown etiology. As only 9 conclusive examples of the syndrome have been reported, it seems useful to add the present case to the literature. This congenital deformity produces a small, grossly hirsute, grotesque infant who usually fails to thrive and survives only a matter of months.
