The syndrome displays the combination of typical morphological facial variations, intellectual disability, language delay, and various malformations. This report describes the clinical aspect and developmental evolution of a male patient with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, from infancy to adolescence. The patient was first examined and diagnosed at 11 months, with follow-up at the ages of 4 and 16.
