Abstract
Waardenburg syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder often characterised by pigmentary anomalies of skin and hair and various defects of neural crest tissues. It accounts for 1-3% of all cases of congenital deafness. Here we describe two siblings, congenitally mute and deaf with heterochromia irides. Case I; is one and half year old male with complete heterochromia irides and associated Hirschprung’s disease. Case II is seven year old female with bilateral partial heterochromia irides.
