Abstract

Marden-Walder syndrome is characterized by a mask-like face, blepharophimosis, joint contractures, and psychometer retardation. We report a newborn infant with the clinical features of the syndrome. He was diagnosed with clinical findings of mask-like face, blepharophimosis, micrognathia, camptodactyly, arachnodactyly, multiple contractures, and hypotonia. The infant died of aspiration pneumonia at 5 months. A brief review of related literature is also presented.
