Abstract
Kabuki make-up syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by mental retardation, postnatal dwarfism and peculiar facies. This condition is believed to be common in Japan, but has been reported from other parts of the world. The authors report a case of this syndrome in an eight-year-old girl, with the characteristic findings from India.
