    Abstract:
    We report on a 12-year-old girl presenting with mental retardation, trigonocephaly, midface hypoplasia, upward-slanting palpebral fissures, arched eyebrows, bilateral epicanthal folds, hypertelorism, a flattened nasal bridge, a short nose, anteverted nares, a long philtrum, a small mouth, micrognathia, low-set ears, a short neck, long digits, flexion deformity of the fingers of the hands, hypoplasia of the labia majora, hyperplasia of the labia minora, flat feet, dysphagia, frequent regurgitation, prominent esophageal dilation, and achalasia. Seizures were noted since 5 years of age. Cytogenetic analysis of her peripheral blood revealed a karyotype of 46,XX, der(9)t(1;9)(p36.22;p22.2)pat. Achalasia, an uncommon esophageal motor disorder, has not been previously described in association with either a deletion of 9p or a duplication of 1p.
