| Abstrakt: | Background: The spectrum of CHARGE association includes coloboma, heart disease, choanal atresia, retarded growth and development and/or CNS anomalies, genital anomalies and/or hypogonadism and ear anomalies and/or deafness. Case Report: A 4 1/2 month-old boy was admitted suffering from microphthalmia. His weight was 6 kg (-1 SD), height 60 cm (-2 SD) and his head circumference was 44 cm (+ 2 SD). He had hypotonia. Examination showed low-set ears, micrognathia, coloboma, left choanal atresia and genital hypoplasia. His heart was normal. Conclusion: The CHARGE association must be recognized early since it may be complicated by respiratory and feeding difficulties which can be lethal. |
