title: Waardenburg's syndrome with Hirschsprung's disease: a neural crest defect.
abstract: Waardenburg's syndrome and Hirschsprung's disease are both conditions involving a defect of migrating neural crest cells and may be seen together. We report a patient with the combination of these two diseases and review the literature on the subject. Physicians should be aware that deafness can be associated with pigmentary anomalies.
