Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
Agarwal, Uma Shankar; Sitaraman, S.; Mehta, Sharad & Panse, Gauri
Abstract
Progeria is a rare genetic disorder characterized by premature aging, involving the skin, bones, heart, and blood vessels. We report a 4-year-old boy who presented with clinical manifestations of progeria. He had characteristic facies, prominent eyes, scalp and leg veins, senile look, loss of scalp hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, stunted growth, and sclerodermatous changes. The present case is reported due to its rarity.
