Abstract
As a result of the deficiency of melanocytes in the hair, skin, and eyes, Waardenburg syndrome is an extremely uncommon hereditary condition. Clinical aspects, such as major and minor criteria, are often used to make a diagnosis based on a patient's symptoms and signs. An infant with Waardenburg syndrome type 1 had a white forelock, sensorineural hearing loss, depigmented macules on the skin, and premature graying hair.
