Abstract

The 3C syndrome, also known as the Ritscher–Schinzel or cranio-cerebello-cardiac syndrome, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by craniofacial, cerebellar and cardiac anomalies. We herein report a 3C syndrome case with hypopadias as a rare sign

Keywords: Hypospadias, Cranio-cerebello-cardiac syndrome, 3C syndrome
