Abstract
Features of leprechaunism, a grotesque elfin facies with flaring nostrils, hirsutism, and large low-set ears, were present in a 15-month-old girl and a newborn boy. These are the first two patients with leprechaunism reported outside the American and European continents. The second case is the first newborn reported in the literature with this diagnosis. Because of parental consanguinity in both patients, an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance seems likely.
