Abstract: The chromosome 9p deletion syndrome is a rare but specific clinical event. The clinical manifestations include dysmorphic facial features (trigonocephaly, midface hypoplasia, upward slanting palpebral fissures, and a long philtrum) and psychomotor retardation. Here we report a child with chromosome 9p deletion with Duane retraction syndrome, which has never been reported in the literature before.
