A unique case report of Wildervanck syndrome in association with facial nerve paresis and arachnodactyly

Abstract:

Wildervanck syndrome, also called as cervico-oculo-acoustic syndrome. This is characterized by the triad of Klippel–Feil syndrome, Duane retraction syndrome, and congenital deafness. Other associations described are cardiovascular and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Some reports, in fact, state that nearly one percent of hearing-impaired females may be affected by Wildervanck syndrome. In our case report, a child who had the complete triad of the syndrome along with arachnodactyly (long slender digits), camptodactyly, short stature, and facial nerve paresis has been described.
