Intestinal lymphangiectasia, lymphedema, mental retardation, and typical face: confirmation of the Hennekam syndrome.

ABSTRACT

We report on a male with intestinal lymphangiectasia, mild mental retardation, seizures, and a typical face; the syndrome was first delineated by Hennekam et al., Am. J. Med. Genet. 34593-600 [1989]. His parents are consanguineous. This case seems to confirm the existence of the Hennekam syndrome.
