CONCLUSION
Seckel syndrome is a rare disease. The diagnosis was challenging and sometimes could miss diagnosed with another syndrome. In this case, the diagnosis was made by clinical presentation and laboratory examination. There was no specific treatment. We assess the patient with Seckel syndrome.
