Cri Du Chat
Cri Du Chat is a genetic syndrome that is caused by a deletion on the short arm of the 5th chromosome. Cri Du Chat literally means “cry of the cat” which is in reference to the cat-like cry of a baby with Cri Du Chat. Other symptoms include low set ears, a small head, epicanthic folds of the eyelids, widely spaced eyes, a small receding chin, and a flat appearing nasal bridge. Not all children with Cri Du Chat will have every feature. For more information on Cri Du Chat, please see the Cri Du Chat support group of Australia.
