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

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
