    Author: Ben Becher S, Ganouni S, Cheour M, Bouaziz A, Boudhina T.
    Journal: Arch Pediatr; 1994 Dec; 1(12):1115-7. PubMed ID: 7849898.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: The spectrum of CHARGE association includes coloboma, heart disease, choanal atresia, retarded growth and development and/or CNS anomalies, genital anomalies and/or hypogonadism and ear anomalies and/or deafness. CASE REPORT: A 4 1/2 month-old boy was admitted suffering from microphthalmia. His weight was 6 kg (-1 SD), height 60 cm (-2 SD) and his head circumference was 44 cm (+ 2 SD). He had hypotonia. Examination showed low-set ears, micrognathia, coloboma, left choanal atresia and genital hypoplasia. His heart was normal. CONCLUSION: The CHARGE association must be recognized early since it may be complicated by respiratory and feeding difficulties which can be lethal.
