Abstract

A report is presented on a brazilian girl, with lack of speech, abnormal motor development and physical features that led to a diagnosis of Angelman’s Syndrome. There was no prior family history. Awareness of this rare condition is important for the otolaryngologist and all physicians in order to provide adequate approach management to patients and improve their quality of life.
