Abstract

A case of Coffin-Lowry syndrome is described. The child had the typical face and also soft and puffy hands with tapering fingers. His psychomotor development was retarded. Audiological tests revealed profound hearing impairment. Anomalous labyrinths were shown by CT scan of the temporal bones. It is inferred that deafness is one of the symptoms of this syndrome.
