Abstract

Bardet Biedl syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition with a wide spectrum of clinical features. The accepted major criteria for diagnosis include retinal dystrophy, obesity, polydactyly, male hypogonadism, mental retardation and renal dysfunction. We have presented a 16 year old male patient exhibiting characteristic features of Bardet Biedl syndrome (BBS) and then the literature is reviewed.
