Abstract
- Waardenburg's syndrome is a very rare hereditary disease with the outstanding clinical characteristics including lateral displacement of the medial canthi of the eyes and of the inferior lacrimal puncta, a broad, prominent root of the nose, hyperplasia of the medial protions of the eye-brows, white or grey forelock, partial or total heterochromia of the irides, and neurosensory deaf-mutism. The authors recently experienced two cases of Waardenburg's syndrome in a 25 year old female and a 20 year old male. So, the literature of the Waardenburg's syndrome was briefly reviewed with clinical history.
