Abstract
The low frequency, the progressive multi-systemic disturbances, and the similarities with other well-known syndromes may difficult the diagnosis of Alström syndrome. Thus, without a careful examination, it may be misdiagnosed and it would not be possible to perform any anticipatory therapeutic approach, with dramatic consequences for the patients and their families. Moreover, as these patiens muts have a multidisciplinary approach, they may not receive the adequate treatment on time. therefore, it seems important to publish this case in our country, among with the clinical and molecular characteristics of this syndrome, and to spread a diagnostic and anticipatory guidance for ist early detection.
