Abstract

Waardenburg’s syndrome is a hereditary disease which shows lateral displacement of the inner canthi, broad nasal root, hyperplasia of the eyebrows, albinism of the frontal head hair, congenital hearing loss, and heterochromia iridis. This syndrome is classified into 4 types by its presenting symptoms. We reported a case of Waardenburg’s syndrome type I. The patient was a 6-month-old male with left side hearing loss, heterochromia iridis, lateral displacement of the inner canthi, hyperplasia of the eyebrows. Since the characteristic features are important information to diagnose this syndrome, it is important to pay attention to the features of patients complaining of congenital hearing loss.<br>
