Abstract

We report on a male with intestinal lymphangiectasia, mild mental retardation, seizures, and a typical face; the syndrome was first delineated by Hennekam et al., Am. J. Med. Genet. 34:593‐600 [1989]. His parents are consanguineous. This case seems to confirm the existence of the Hennekam syndrome.
