CONCLUSIONS

This report contributes to the clinical spectrum of Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, from infant to young teenager, including severe growth retardation, absence of speech and friendly behavior, corresponding to the specific cytogenetic anomalies. Concerning the particularities in this case with a complex clinical aspect, from a cytogenetic point of view, the karyotype had the cytogenetic formula in mosaic, which has rarely been reported in literature. The severity of the symptoms in mosaic Wolf-Hirschhorn may depend on the amount of deletion, but more research is needed. Moreover, this article presents, for the first time in literature, the aspects of cephalometric analysis in a patient with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. Further studies are necessary in order to clarify the pattern of craniofacial development. In patients with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, cephalometric analysis can provide valuable information about their craniofacial characteristics, which can be useful in diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring of the condition over time. Declaration of Patient Consent The authors certify that informed consent was obtained from the legal representative, before the beginning of the study, for reporting images and clinical information on the patient in the Journal. Declaration of Interest The authors report no conflicts of interest. The authors alone are responsible for the content and writing of this article.
