title: Blepharophimosis, eczema, and growth and developmental delay in a young adult: late features of Dubowitz syndrome?
abstract: The Dubowitz syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive multiple congenital anomaly/mental retardation syndrome. We report here a case of a young adult presenting with several features consistent with this diagnosis. The differential diagnosis is discussed with respect to the absence of microcephaly and intrauterine growth retardation.
