Background:

Dubowitz syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder.
Characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation.
Associated with microcephaly and moderate intellectual disability.

Observation:

Distinct facial anomalies including telecanthus, epicanthic folds, blepharophimosis, ptosis, nasal broadening, abnormal ears, and retrognathia.
Other findings include hyperactivity, eczema, cryptorchidism in males, and fifth finger brachy-clinodactyly.
The study presents five new sporadic cases.

Findings:

Detailed diagnostic symptoms of Dubowitz syndrome.
Discussion of differential diagnosis for similar conditions.
Adds to the 33 previously reported cases in medical literature.

Implications:

Enhances the understanding of Dubowitz syndrome's clinical presentation.
Aids in accurate diagnosis and differentiation from other genetic syndromes.
Contributes to the clinical knowledge base for rare genetic disorders.
