CHARGE syndrome

Abstract

The article provides literature data and description of the clinical case of CHARGE syndrome with an autosomal – dominant type of inheritance in a child of 3 years and 7 months. The name of the syndrome is formed by the first letters of the characteristic congenital malformations: “C” (coloboma) – optic disc coloboma, “H” (heart defects) – cardiovascular abnormalities, “A” (atresia of choanae) – atresia or stenosis of choan, “R” (retardation of growth and development) – growth deficit, developmental delay, “G” (genital anomalies) – genital anomalies, “E” (ear abnormalities and sensorineural hearing loss) – hearing organ abnormalities. A feature of the clinical case is the early diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome, manifested by bilateral optic disc coloboma; unilateral paresis of the facial nerve; congenital heart disease (open aortic duct); retardation of growth, psychomotor and psycho-speech development; cryptorchidism; bilateral anomaly of the outer ear (short, wide, absence of the lobe and external curl), sensorineural hearing loss; bilateral renal hypopalasia, chronic kidney disease.
