Objectives:
Ring chromosome 14 is a rarely observed chromosomal abnormality characterized by a circular, ring-like appearance in one or both copies of chromosome 14. Ring chromosome 14 syndrome (OMIM #616606) is marked by global developmental delays, drug-resistant epilepsy, microcephaly, and ocular abnormalities. To date, fewer than 100 cases of ring chromosome 14 syndrome have been described in the medical literature. We describe a case of ring chromosome 14 and its clinical presentation in a 10-year-old female, adding to the literature about this rare condition.
