We report a 10-year-old boy with multiple congenital anomalies/mental retar
dation syndrome, who also presented with aganglionosis and neurogenic muscl
e weakness. Some phenotypic manifestations of our patient overlap with thos
e observed in the Niikawa-Kuroki syndrome; however, the hypothesis of a new
distinct entity, with simultaneous involvement of the central and peripher
al nervous system, is considered.
