Abstract:
Waardenburg syndrome is a very rare auditory-pigment syndrome with autosomal dominant inheritance. In his first report in 1951, Waardenburg characterized this syndrome as dystopia canthorum, a high broad nasal bridge, synophrys[confluent eyebrows], heterochromia iridid, a white forelock or early graying, and sensory neural deafness. We observed a case of Type 2 Waardenburg syndrome with openangle glaucoma and, therefore report with literature review.
