The diagnosis of Dubowitz syndrome in the neonatal period--a case report.
We present an infant with Dubowitz syndrome diagnosed at birth and followed for 2 years. Presence of the syndrome was suspected at birth on the basis of the anthropometric data and peculiar facial appearance. However, during the follow-up period some changes in the appearance have taken place. It is suggested that the neonatal anthropometric measurements are important diagnostic criteria for Dubowitz syndrome.
