Dubowitz Syndrome is a rare genetic disease and the clinical presentation is mainly characterized by pre and postnatal growth retardation, mental retardation, hyperactivity, eczema, short stature, microcephaly and facial and physical changes. Diagnosis is based on inspection of facial appearance, growth records, clinical observation of behavioral patterns and multiple clinical manifestations. We reported a patient with Dubowitz syndrome diagnosed through clinical-genetic examination treated with multidisciplinary therapies.
