[Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Apropos of a case].

A new case of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome is reported. Clinical, ophthalmological, hematological and dermatological explorations are all described in detail, with emphasis placed on the risks of non-recognition of the syndrome. The ocular albinism is associated with a cutaneous syndrome of highly variable expression and a thrombopathy generally without frank clinical consequence. The quasi spontaneous meningeal hemorrhage noted in this case is unusual. Literature data on this syndrome is reviewed and its main features are described.
