Abstract—Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by premature aging involving the skin, bones, heart, and blood vessels. We report a five year old female child with clinical manifestations characteristic of this syndrome. This child had a senile look with large cranium, frontal bossing, sparse light brown hair and dilated visible veins over the scalp. Other features were prominent eyes, beaked nose, micrognathia, sclerodermatous changes in both feet and legs, laxed and atrophic skin over dorsum of both hands and mottled pigmentation over trunk. Decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels was characteristic of the syndrome. This case is reported for its rarity and uncommon relationship with hypothyroidism.
Keywords: Hutchinson, Gilford Progeria Syndrome, Hypothyroidism.
