title: [Cardiac symptoms in 2 patients with Seckel syndrome].
abstract: Seckel's Syndrome is a rare (< 1:10,000) malformation, presumably inherited as an autosomal-recessive trait. It is characterized by failure to thrive, mental retardation, bird-like malformation of the face and further abnormalities. Cardiac anomalies have not been described so far. We report two patients with cardiac malformations, a complex defect and a patient ductus arteriosus.
