Abstrakt: Intellectual disability is the impairment of cognitive, linguistic, motor and social skills that occurs in the pediatric age and is also described by the term "mental retardation". Intellectual disability occurs in 3-28 % of the general population due to a genetic cause, including chromosome aberrations. Among people with intellectual disabilities, the cause of the disability was identified as a single gene disorder in up to 12 %, multifactorial disorders in up to 4 %, and genetic disorders in up to 8.5 %. Children affected by a malformation syndrome associated with mental retardation or intellectual disability represent a care challenge for the pediatrician. A multidisciplinary team is essential to manage the patient, thereby controlling the complications of the syndrome and promoting the correct psychophysical development. This requires continuous follow-up of these children by the pediatrician, which is essential for both the clinical management of the syndrome and facilitating the social integration of these children.
