Schinzel-Giedion syndrome. A patient with hypothyroidism and diabetes insipidus.

The Schinzel-Giedion is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by midface retraction, hypertrichosis, multiple skeletal anomalies, cardiac and renal malformations and mental retardation. We describe a female child with this syndrome and a clinical status complicated by hypernatremic dehydration, hypothyroidism and diabetes insipidus at the age of 10 months.
