Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Cohen syndrome (MCA/MR) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and intellectual disability.
  • Diagnosis relies on a triad of hypotonia, truncal obesity, and prominent central incisors, but clinical criteria can be nonspecific.

Observation:

  • This report details an 11-year-old boy diagnosed with Cohen syndrome.
  • The patient exhibited characteristic features alongside significant ophthalmologic findings.

Findings:

  • Ophthalmologic examination revealed decreased visual acuity, myopia, and notable retinal abnormalities.
  • Antimongoloid eye slant is also a key ophthalmologic feature in Cohen syndrome.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of Cohen syndrome is crucial for timely intervention and management.
