Abstract
We report on three European cases of urofacial (Ochoa) syndrome. This entit y was originally described in Colombian patients and very few cases have be en reported from other countries. It is likely that they may be missed beca use of variability of the urinary problems and failure to recognize the cha racteristic facial grimacing. Establishing an early diagnosis has important consequences for the management and prognosis of urinary problems in these patients. Clin Dysmorphol 10:165-170 (C) 2001 Lippincott Williams & Wilkin s.
