Abstract
The patient discussed is a seven year old boy with Cockayne's syndrome, deafness, retinal “salt and pepper”-like abnormalities, microcephaly, retarded growth and abnormal appearance, but normal intelligence. This suggests that mental retardation is not inevitably associated with Cockayne's syndrome.

Dieses läßt annehmen, daß die mentale Retardierung nicht absolut zu dem Syndrom gehört.
