Waardenburg syndrome is a rare autosomal disorder with heterogeneous manifestations including sensorineural deafness, piebaldism, heterochromic irides, synophrys and dystopia canthorum. We report this case for its rarity and presence of freckles, a finding which has not been reported in association with WS in this part of world so far.References
