Abstract;We described a two-year-old boy with Rieger anomaly, atrial septal defect, and sensorineural hearing loss. Rieger syndrome is characterized by hypodontia, failure of involution of the periumbilical skin, and characteristic face in addition to Rieger anomaly. However our case did not have these symptoms. Recently, Cunningham et al. described a familial case of Rieger anomaly inherited by autosomal dominant manner coexistent with atrial septal defect, and sensorineural hearing loss, without hypodontia and failure of involution of the periumbilical skin as a new genetic syndrome. We consider that our case is an isolated case consistent with the case reported by Cunningham. (author abst.)
