Abstract

Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome is a new complex of physical findings consisting primarily of broad thumbs, broad great toes and facial abnormalities, associated with mental retardation. We have experienced a case of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome in a 5month-old male infant who had two recurrent pneumonia a竹acks. The diagnosis was easily established by clinical features and radiologic examinations. So a brief review of the pertinent literatures is given.
